Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will miss Wednesday night’s game against the surging Houston Rockets with a quad injury.
The NBA’s third-leading scorer (30.4 points per game) has been playing through the right quad contusion that occurred last Wednesday when he took a knee to the leg. The missed game will be just the second this season for Gilgeous-Alexander.
Gilgeous-Alexander is shooting 54 percent from the floor and is averaging 5.6 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.
The Thunder (50-21) enter Wednesday’s contest a half-game behind Denver for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Houston, meanwhile, owns the NBA’s longest active winning streak at nine games. The Rockets (36-35) enter just one game behind Golden State for the 10th and final play-in spot in the West.
