In 43 appearances, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged 22.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.6 minutes per game. Next season, Gilgeous-Alexander will begin a five-year, $172.5 million maximum contract extension.
Mike Muscala has been a valuable reserve for the rebuilding Oklahoma City Thunder this season. And he's done so while managing a painful right ankle injury.

Despite the injury, Muscala has shot a career-best 43% on three-pointers this season. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault praised Muscala's approach to games and practices, despite an often-limited role. “He loves practice,” Daigneault said. “He loves going full-tilt … Him having to balance that with what’s best for him physically has been a challenge for him.”
