Is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing tonight against San Antonio Spurs? Latest on All-Star guard's status (April 10) 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander returned for the OKC Thunder on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. He had missed the past four games with injury, but Gilgeous-Alexander picked up where he left off, tallying 40 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in OKC's 112-105 comeback win.

The Thunder are playing on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back, so there's uncertainty over SGA's presence. He played without a minute restriction and looked in great rhythm, so SGA could play against the Spurs.

It would help him keep the momentum going after missing four consecutive games, which is crucial ahead of the playoffs.
