Thunder reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has sustained an abdominal injury that will keep him out through the All-Star break.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Sixers traded second-year guard Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for a 2026 Rockets first-round pick and three second-round picks. Acquiring McCain gives the Thunder a backcourt depth chart that now looks like this:

The OKC Thunder has acquired Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain. OKC will reportedly send Houston's 2026 first-round pick and three second-round picks to Philadelphia.

Hoping for one last grasp at a comeback, Aaron Wiggins sped down the court. His ambitions were deflated when Victor Wembanyama easily swallowed his shot attempt with another block. On the other end, San Antonio's superstar finally caught an alley-oop.

Ousmane Dieng was selected by the Thunder with the 11th pick in 2022 and has appeared in 136 games across four seasons in OKC. The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder received center Mason Plumlee from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for forward Ousmane Dieng, who was rerouted by Charlotte to the Chicago Bulls.
