Injury Report: Thunder Without SGA in Matchup Against Boston

Both teams will be without key players in this contest.

Oklahoma City faces yet another difficult challenge on Tuesday when Boston travels to the Paycom Center.

The Celtics enter the game 26-11 and at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. However the Celtics do enter 5-5 in their last 10 games.

The OKC injury report isn’t lengthy, but the missing players are key. It starts with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is a late scratch due to a non-COVID illness.

Aleksej Pokusevski is a recent addition after suffering a leg injury in OKC’s last game which will sideline him for at least six weeks.

Ousmane Dieng who has been playing in the G League as he suffered a wrist injury, his second of the season and remains out. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will once again be absent.

OKC is no stranger to the injury bug as it has struck numerous times throughout the year.

The Thunder have looked better than many had expected entering the season, but will once again have a tough opponent to continue to fight in the Western Conference.

The Celtics enter the game with only one new injury on their report with Robert Williams finding himself as out with knee injury management.
