Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a go for Wednesday night’s game against the Utah Jazz.
The reigning MVP was a late addition to the NBA’s injury report. He was listed as questionable on the 6:30 p.m. ET report with bursitis, an inflammation in his right knee. But by the 7:30 p.m. ET report, Gilgeous-Alexander was declared “available” and he was listed in the Thunder’s starting lineup shortly before tipoff time.

He also shoots 89% from the free throw line and averages 4.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game.
In the lone game he missed, the Thunder still won 131-107 against the Jazz on Dec. 7 behind a 25-point performance from both Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren.
