Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined until after All-Star break with abdominal strain

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out of action until after the All-Star break due to an abdominal strain, the team announced Wednesday.

The reigning MVP suffered the injury during Oklahoma City’s 128-92 win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night. It means the Canadian guard will sit out the All-Star games on Feb. 15. Commissioner Adam Silver will choose his replacement.

Gilgeous-Alexander also will miss Wednesday night’s showdown with the San Antonio Spurs.
