Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander misses game against Bulls to manage abdominal strain
CHICAGO (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder held star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out of Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls to manage an abdominal strain that has sidelined him for much of the past month.
The reigning MVP had played the previous two games after missing nine in a row. He was second in the NBA in scoring with 31.8 points per game.

Gilgeous-Alexander has a streak of 123 consecutive games with at least 20 points scored – the second longest in NBA history, behind only Wilt Chamberlain’s streak of 126.
The defending NBA champion Thunder had won five of six and led the Western Conference 47-15 entering Tuesday’s game. They will visit New York on Wednesday.
