The Oklahoma City Thunder will have their star player back for the season opener.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault confirmed during Tuesday’s practice that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who missed all of the preseason dealing with a sprained MCL, will be available to play in Wednesday’s season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Daigneault also confirmed Gilgeous-Alexander will not be under a minutes restriction and is a full go for the game. The entire roster — minus Chet Holmgren — will be available.
“It wasn’t pleasant (rehabbing my injury) the first couple of days, but I tried to do everything I can to make sure I was good for Game 1 to get back as fast as possible,” said Gilgeous-Alexander.
