Tre Mann vs Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Herb Jones and Bones Hyland to try to keep OKC’s Western Conference Rookie of the Month streak alive will be fun to follow.
An injury was the only thing that was ever gonna stop Josh Giddey from sweeping. – 1:47 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Mark Daigneault “we want everyone to be healthy all the time.” Says “Josh [Giddey] is hurt right now and he has to grow through that experience. A great example of someone who has done that well is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander he has been on a rampage since he has been back.” – 1:41 PM

Mark Daigneault says he hopes Josh Giddey can return this season, after he is reevaluated again in a couple of weeks. – 1:37 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
There’s only a month left in the season, so Josh Giddey missing another two weeks would leave him just two weeks to return.
Asked Daigneault if he expects Giddey to play again this season: “That’s the hope.” – 1:36 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Aaron Wiggins practised with the Thunder. He’s questionable for tomorrow’s game. Josh Giddey has showed progress and it’s possible to return in action soon, as coach Mark Daigneault said. #thunderup1:30 PM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussatto
Mark Daigneault said it will be a “couple of weeks” until the next update on Josh Giddey (hip soreness). – 1:30 PM
