NBA – Hit in the quadriceps against the Jazz last week, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been in good form since.
At a slow trot Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. For three games, the Thunder superstar has barely averaged 20 points with 44% shooting success (and even 18% from 3-point range…). That is 10 points less than his average over the season, and 10 points less success as well.
The explanation for this decline is obviously to be found in his physical state. After the Thunder’s victory over the Pelicans, “SGA” reveals suffering from a quadriceps injury. He was injured last week against the Jazz. Since then, he says he takes “ things from day to day and see how » he feels when he wakes up.
Consequently, Mark Daigneault will monitor the state of health of his leader during the last two weeks of the regular season. “ He’s hurt, that’s for sure. He’s not 100%. We are monitoring him, but he is definitely not 100% », declared the coach of the team, 2nd in the West, after a victory for the Nuggets.
Beyond this situation in the standings, the Thunder does not have much room for maneuver in terms of its schedule to try to put it to rest. After receiving the Rockets and Suns this week, the men of Oklahoma City are traveling to the East (Knicks, Sixers, Celtics, Pacers and Hornets).
So while waiting for better physical condition, the Canadian makes do with: “ You have to try not to focus on that. Don’t be a burden on the pitch, try to be aggressive. You try to fight during the last moments and find a solution afterwards.
