Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Won't play Sunday

Gilgeous-Alexander won't play Sunday against the Jazz due to left elbow bursitis.

This injury comes out of nowhere for the reigning MVP. There's been no mention of this issue previously, and it's certainly possible that the Thunder are simply looking to give him a maintenance day. More clarity can be expected after the weekend, but for now, he can be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns. With Gilgeous-Alexander out, the Thunder will likely lean more heavily on Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell, while Chris Youngblood could enter the rotation.
