Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander expressed confidence that his team can overcome notable absences as they prepare for upcoming challenges. The comment came following the Thunder's game against the Dallas Mavericks on October 28, 2026, at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
During the first quarter of that matchup, Gilgeous-Alexander was photographed driving past Mavericks forward P.J. Washington. The Thunder star's optimism about the roster's depth comes as the team navigates a period with key players unavailable.
