Per the Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (right ankle sprain) will be reevaluated after the All-Star break.

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Domantas Sabonis was key in OKC landing Paul George and in turn landing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and 100 1st round picks.
And tonight he helped his old team inch closer to landing a top 5 pick.
Domas is a real one. – 10:53 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Thunder were up big before SGA went out.
Dort, Giddey and Bench Baze with big games to take the Pacers to OT.
Another close, fun game that helps OKC’s odds in the Jabari/Paolo/Chet sweepstakes.
Double bonus giving the Pacers a W. – 10:50 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
The Thunder win this game in regulation with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. – 10:23 PM

OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has 10pts, suffered a right ankle sprain and will not return.
Pacers up one with 9mins left. – 9:59 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s ankle injury looked bad but luckily I am not a doctor – 9:23 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
SGA to the locker room. Hate that. Had to limp off the court. – 9:22 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Sabonis fouls SGA and SGA comes up limping badly. I believe it’s his right ankle. He’s headed straight to the locker room with 10:09 left in the 3Q. #Pacers9:21 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Shai is limping badly. He’s headed straight to the locker room. – 9:21 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Halftime: OKC 54, #Pacers 51
Lu Dort has a game-high 11 points, Darius Bazley with 10, SGA with 8.
Domantas Sabonis is doing it all with 9 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. On his way to his fifth triple-double of the season. – 9:03 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Sheesh that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander slam was incredible. – 8:32 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Well, OKC likes to run and that’s exactly what they’re doing. Josh Giddy just dropped it off to SGA for a dunk. Thunder now lead the #Pacers 16-15. – 8:24 PM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Josh Giddey with a beauty of a behind the back pass on a fast break to SGA for a dunk.
Thunder fans gonna be seeing lots of that the next decade. – 8:24 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Behind the back pass by Josh Giddey for a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander slam they smile and laugh their way into the huddle pic.twitter.com/MaUXqnCex18:23 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Giddey behind-the-back pass in transition to SGA for the slam. That was nice. – 8:23 PM
Jon Hamm @JonMHamm
SGA with a drive and kick to Tre Mann.
Fortunately the pass was off the mark and Mann had to chase it down, because it allowed him to set up for that jab stepback 3. – 8:21 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
The Thunder starters
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
