The Oklahoma City Thunder practiced the day after their 110-106 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. After leading by 22 points, the Thunder suffered an ugly loss to the Pelicans, who were without Brandon Ingram.
The loss dropped OKC’s record to 3-2. It continues the six-game homestand when it welcomes the Golden State Warriors on Friday for the first in-season tournament game.
Following practice, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and Aaron Wiggins spoke with the media.
During the session, Daigneault announced Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will miss Friday’s game with a left knee sprain he suffered against the Pelicans. He also said Jaylin Williams (hamstring strain) and Kenrich Williams (back spasms) continue to progress, and the former is closer to returning than the latter.
Let’s recap what Daigneault and Wiggins had to say along with other practice notes.
