10 Dec
Summary
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is cleared to play in the NBA Cup quarterfinal.
- Alex Caruso and Lu Dort also return after missing previous games.
- The Thunder vs. Suns game tips off Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. IST.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will field their full strength for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a leading MVP candidate, has been cleared to return after missing the last game with left elbow bursitis. His availability is a massive advantage for OKC's hopes of reaching the semifinals.
Adding to the team's robust lineup are key defensive players Alex Caruso and Lu Dort, both returning from multi-game absences. Dort will rejoin the starting backcourt alongside Gilgeous-Alexander, while Caruso will provide defensive intensity and scoring off the bench. The team, however, will be without four players due to injuries.
The critical quarterfinal game is scheduled for Wednesday at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, with tip-off at 7:30 p.m. IST. National television coverage will be provided by Amazon Prime Video, with live streaming options available on NBA League Pass and the Fubo TV app.
