Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander misses game against Bulls to manage abdominal strain

The Oklahoma City Thunder held star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out of Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls to manage an abdominal strain that sidelined him for most of last month. Gilgeous-Alexander is on a streak of 123 consecutive games with at least 20 points scored — the second-longest in NBA history, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s run of 126 straight. The defending NBA champion Thunder had won five of six and led the Western Conference at 47-15 entering Tuesday’s game.
