Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 28 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 27 minutes during the Thunder's 138-89 win over the Suns in Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal match.
Gilgeous-Alexander was cleared to play Wednesday after missing one game due to left elbow bursitis.

Gilgeous-Alexander's numbers this season are similar to what he produced during the 2024-25 regular season, though he's connecting on 56.2 percent of his field-goal attempts and 45.4 percent of his three-point tries, both career highs.

Rotowire
Gilgeous-Alexander (elbow) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't play in Sunday's win over the Jazz due to left elbow bursitis, but he's all set to return Wednesday. The MVP candidate should push Ajay Mitchell back to the bench. For the campaign, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 32.8 points, 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 33.3 minutes per contest over 23 regular-season games.
Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
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.
