On Friday evening, the Oklahoma City Thunder will host Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns in Oklahoma.

For the game, the Thunder will likely remain without their best player, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on the injury report.

The All-Star guard missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
