The <b>Thunder<\/b> guard is expected to remain sidelined through the <b>All-Star break<\/b>. This marks a massive blow for <b>OKC<\/b>, who were dominating before his injury. <b>Gilgeous-Alexander<\/b> has been averaging <b>31.8 points<\/b> per game this season.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Thunder<\/b> suffered their first loss since the injury last game against <b>Houston<\/b>, falling <b>106-112<\/b>.

More importantly, <b>Holmgren<\/b> just returned from low back spasms, giving <b>OKC<\/b> a fully healthy supporting cast.<\/p>\n<p><b>Jalen Williams<\/b> is also expected to return from injury today, providing another crucial piece.
