Playing Tuesday, out Wednesday Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) will play Tuesday against the Warriors but will sit out Wednesday against the Suns, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Head coach Mark Daigneault has noted that the team intends to be careful with Gilgeous-Alexander's workload for the rest of the season, as he wouldn't be playing through his abdomen injury if it was earlier in the year. While it's encouraging that the Thunder want to play SGA to shoot for a playoff spot, fantasy managers must be careful about back-to-backs. The guard will sit out the second half of the Tuesday-Wednesday set, and there's another back-to-back Saturday and Sunday. The team hasn't decided on SGA's availability for the weekend, so fantasy managers should watch for information.

Impact After a five-game absence due to a left hip flexor strain as well as a stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Gilgeous-Alexander returned with a flourish Sunday. Though Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault suggested over the weekend that Gilgeous-Alexander could sit out one half of the Thunder's four remaining back-to-back sets this season and also see his minutes monitored more carefully, no restriction was evident in his return to the lineup. Gilgeous-Alexander didn't scale back his aggression on the offensive end either, as his 19 trips to the free-throw line tied a career-high total.

Minutes will be monitored ROS Head coach Mark Daigneault said Sunday that the team will monitor Gilgeous-Alexander's (abdomen/COVID-19) workload for the rest of the season, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to suit up Sunday following a five-game absence due to a combination of ankle and abdomen injuries, plus a stint in health and safety protocols. However, Daigneault said that if it were earlier in the season, the team would want to keep the dynamic point guard sidelined to rest his abdomen injury, but since there's limited time left and the Thunder are in the mix for a play-in spot, Gilgeous-Alexander is going to play through the issue. The coach's comments are a bit concerning for fantasy managers, especially with the playoffs looming, but the extent of the restrictions remain unclear. Daigneault did mention that it's possible Oklahoma City opts to rest Gilgeous-Alexander during back-to-back sets, which would mean he'd miss at least four of the team's final 19 contests.

Off injury report Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen, COVID-19 protocols) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Impact After a five-game absence due to a combination of ankle and abdomen injuries, plus health and safety protocols, Gilgeous-Alexander will return to the floor. He may be on a minutes limit in his first game back, but it seems likely that he'll at least start. SGA has scored at least 20 points in 21 straight matchups, averaging 31.2 points, 5.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks during this stretch.

Impact Based on his move into the protocols along with the fact that he's been managing a pair of injuries, Gilgeous-Alexander looks on track to sit out both Tuesday as well as Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Gilgeous-Alexander has already missed two straight games with ankle and abdomen injuries, prompting Isaiah Joe to get two consecutive starts. Joe has combined for 52 points in the pair of matchups, so fantasy managers in daily lineup leagues need to take notice.
