Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander active against Utah Jazz

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been taken off the injury report, accord to CBS Sports.

Gilgeous-Alexander missed one game due to a hip contusion but will be back Wednesday night to face the Utah Jazz.

Without the point guard Sunday, the Thunder eked out a one-point victory over the Boston Celtics.

Against the Jazz, Oklahoma City will be able to play its leading scorer. Gilgeous-Alexander averages 19.3 points per game to go with 6.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

This game could have playoff seeding implications. Utah, in fourth place in the Western Conference, leads the Thunder by one game. The teams are 1-1 against each other this season, and the team with the better head-to-head record would own the tiebreaker if necessary.

The Thunder and Jazz will play one more time on April 13.

While the Thunder get back one of their best players, the Jazz may be missing All-NBA center Rudy Gobert. Gobert, who has won the last two Defensive Player of the Year awards, is questionable with an illness.

Oklahoma City and Utah face off at 7 p.m. at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
