The Oklahoma City Thunder will be without star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander until after the All-Star break due to an abdominal strain. This injury sidelines the reigning MVP for at least five games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs. SGA also won't participate in the new three-team All-Star Game format. He'll be reevaluated after the break.

Before the injury, SGA played in Tuesday's game, scoring 20 points and providing 9 assists against the Orlando Magic. He extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to 121. The Thunder are currently a top seed in the Western Conference. His absence is a blow to their playoff push.

This injury comes at a crucial point for the Thunder. With Gilgeous-Alexander out, other players will need to step up, including Jalen Williams. The team has been a pleasant surprise this season, and they hope this injury won't derail their success. The team's first game back after the break is against the Brooklyn Nets on February 20th.
