Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be sidelined during the All-Star Break!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be sidelined during the All-Star Break! The 14-34 OKC Thunder is not ready to face the music – and who would? Their top player is now out for the next few games as he is dealing with a right ankle sprain.

Tough injury as that is one that could heal quickly or nag a little bit. The injury will force him out of action till after the All-Star Break. That is the general timeline, the believed timeline.

Per the Thunder, Gilgeous-Alexander will be reevaluated in mid-February. Quite a setback for this team as they still have a good chance of making the Play-In Tournament. Something to consider and look at throughout the rest of this second half of the season.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
