On Sunday evening, the Oklahoma City Thunder will face off against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.

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

The former Kentucky star has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out the lineup (if he doesn't play).

Via Joel Lorenzi of Oklahoman Sports: "Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who’s been dealing with a quad injury, has been upgraded to questionable ahead of tonight’s game at MSG."
