The Oklahoma City Thunder are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, turning in a 3-7 record in their last ten games, sitting at 13-26 overall a pair of games back from the NBA postseason play-in tournament, and a trio of games away from being the worst team in the Western Conference.

The Thunder will take on the Washington Wizards on Tuesday in an attempt to snap their cold streak, which surprisingly features max contract point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander right in the middle of it. The last time out, SGA nailed two (2) shots from the floor in a close loss to the Denver Nuggets. Oklahoma City also dealt with its first COVID-10 outbreak during this recent skid. Now, Isaiah Roby remains in the NBA Health and Safety Protocol after entering last Wednesday. The first injury report for tomorrow’s clash against the Wizards, which will be updated hourly, was released at 12:30 central time. In addition to Roby, Kenrich Williams‘s name appeared as OUT for tomorrow’s game against Washington stating he has entered the league’s COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocol.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely miss a huge piece of their rotation against the streaky Washington Wizards on Tuesday evening in the nation’s capital. Mark Daigneault will not be armed with one of his best veterans to help along with this incredibly young and spunky roster.

Williams accounts for seven points, four rebounds, two assists, and a steal per game while shooting 38-percent from distance, and 45-percent from the floor. One of Oklahoma City’s best offensive weapons alongside their young playmakers. Kenny Hustle has lived up to his nickname and then some, averaging twenty minutes per game off the bench while giving maximum effort in all of them.

The NBA Trade Deadline looms a month away and barring this being a false positive, Sam Presti will get a look at what this team functions as without Kenrich Williams. Joining Williams and Roby on the injury report is Vit Krejci who is still on G-League assignment with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s G-Leauge affiliate. The Washington Wizards have yet to post an injury report.

Next. should Shai Gilgeous-Alexander play more off ball?. dark
