Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Boston Celtics because of a right hip contusion, according to Erik Horne of The Athletic.
Gilgeous-Alexander suffered the injury during Friday's 126-103 victory over the New York Knicks, a contest in which he recorded 18 points in 22 minutes of action.
Injuries are not something Gilgeous-Alexander has had to deal with early in his career. Not only did he appear in all 82 games as a rookie a season ago, but he had yet to miss a game this season:
