Thunder Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Sidelined with Elbow Bursitis

Oklahoma City, OK – In a blow to the Oklahoma City Thunder, star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will miss Sunday’s road game against the Utah Jazz due to left elbow bursitis. This will be Gilgeous-Alexander’s first absence of the season.

The reigning MVP is putting up stellar numbers, averaging 32.8 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game. He is coming off a dominant 33-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, where he only played three quarters of the game.

Gilgeous-Alexander is currently riding a 95-game streak of scoring at least 20 points, the second-longest streak in NBA history. He is behind only Wilt Chamberlain’s record of 126 consecutive games from 1961 to 1963.

After Sunday’s game, the Thunder have a two-day break before hosting the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. The team will hope Gilgeous-Alexander can recover quickly and return to the court.
