Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. That same night, he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. Gilgeous-Alexander played in LA his first season in the league and was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. But in the offseason, he was involved in a blockbuster trade that sent veteran player Paul George to the Clippers and Sga to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Canadian-born basketball player has become a force in Okc and made multiple All-Star appearances. He also won a bronze medal with Canada’s national team and the 2023 Fiba World Cup.

“Handle With Care: The Legend of the Notic Streetball Crew,” a documentary chronicling the rise, fall and rebirth of Canadian streetball collective The Notic, has been acquired by Gravitas Ventures, which has picked up worldwide rights and set a March 26 release date.

When the Oklahoma City Thunder host the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night, it’s going to mean a little bit more. It’ll be the first time these two teams meet after the Thunder eliminated the Pelicans on a play-in game 123-118. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander exploded for 25 of his 32 points in the second half, sealing the game with four clutch free-throws with 29 seconds left.
In the 2023-24 season, Oklahoma is 3-1, with their only loss coming in a blow-out to the defending champs Denver Nuggets. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has started the season strong, averaging 26.0 points per game. Josh Giddey, known for his creative passing, and rookie Chet Holmgren, will need to be on their game to get past the Pelicans. The good news is the Thunder are slightly better historically at home than on the road, averaging 120.8 points for and 115.6 points against at home last year, versus 114.1 and 117.1 respectively on the road.
