The Oklahoma City Thunder (52-24) continue their five-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers on Friday without their top two scorers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Iquad) and Jalen Williams (ankle) are both listed as out for this contest.

With the Thunder on the verge of their first three-game losing skid of the season, head coach Mark Daigneault updated the media on the status of their star player ahead of Friday’s game. The Thunder bench boss announced that Gilgeous-Alexander has been sent back home to Oklahoma City.

“We need to make sure he doesn’t decondition during this time and gym access on the road is much more difficult to come by,” Daigneault explained.
