Is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing against the L.A. Clippers?

The Oklahoma City Thunder will look to bounce back against the L.A. Clippers on the second night of the LaLa Land back-to-back. After falling to the Lakers last night, 112-105, the Thunder will be right back at it at 9:30 CST in L.A.

In the Oklahoma City Thunder's impressive win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had six and-ones, including a hoop and the harm that featured a clanking of the knees with Magic Guard Jalen Suggs.

That led Gilgeous-Alexander to be listed as questionable (knee) heading into Monday's clash with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Superstar guard was a "true game time decision" according to the Thunder bench boss.

After going through his pregame routine, the Oklahoma City Thunder elected to play their max contract point guard as he went for 24 points, three rebounds, six assists, a steal, and a block in the Thunder's loss.
