The OKC Thunder will play the second game of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the visiting New York Knicks. The Thunder are coming off a huge win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. Let's look at the OKC Thunder injury report for Dec. 27 featuring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren.
The Thunder have no players listed on their injury for Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks. Jalen Williams and Josh Giddey were cleared before Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves. Williams was dealing with an unspecified illness while Giddey had a sprained left ankle.
That means Gilgeous-Alexander and Holmgren will be suiting up against New York. SGA has only missed one game this season, on Nov. 3, while Holmgren has been healthy all season after missing his entire rookie campaign due to a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.
