Gilgeous-Alexander is dealing with an abdominal strain and will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break,
Shams Charania of ESPN reports Wednesday.
ANALYSISThis means that Gilgeous-Alexander will miss at least the next five games for the Thunder, which could elevate the newly acquired
Jared McCain to a prominent role as Oklahoma City goes into the break. McCain,
Ajay Mitchell,
Cason Wallace,
Aaron Wiggins and
Isaiah Joe will all help fill the void while Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined, and
Chet Holmgren should see a sizeable uptick in usage.
