Why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn't playing today for OKC Thunder with injury news, return timeline for Sga

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a fun matchup in front of them on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won't be playing, though.

SGA misses out as OKC takes on the Cavs, a bummer for those tuning in to the nationally televised game hoping to see the superstar on the floor.

Why isn't SGA playing today?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander remains out with an injury.

He hasn't played since February 3 with an abdominal strain.

Shai missed the final five games before the All-Star break, and the Thunder won only two of those games.

They returned from the break on Friday and handled the lowly Nets, 105-86.

The Cavs will be a different kind of test.

When is SGA coming back?

Gilgeous-Alexander is slated to be re-evaluated later this week.

NBA insider Mark Medina reported on Feb. 19 that SGA would need "about a week" to be checked out again.

The Thunder are also without Jalen Williams (strained right hamstring), so that's their top-two offensive players both on the sideline.
