Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out at least through the All-Star break with a right-ankle sprain, the team said Saturday.
The Thunder said his ankle will be re-evaluated in mid-February.
Gilgeous-Alexander turned the ankle in Friday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers while driving to the basket with 10:11 left in the third quarter. He was fouled on the play and remained in the game to shoot two free throws — he missed both — before hobbling to the locker room.
He had 10 points in 17 minutes before exiting. The Pacers won 113-110.
In 43 games this season, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a team-best 22.7 points to go with 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.
