Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Out Friday with Ankle Sprain Amidst Team Injuries

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will not suit up for Friday's game in Memphis due to an ankle sprain. He is part of a significantly depleted roster, as Chet Holmgren (shins), Isaiah Hartenstein (soleus), Cason Wallace (toe), and Jaylin Williams (heel) are also on the inactive list. This situation means Jalen Williams will be very busy on offense, and Ajay Mitchell could see substantial minutes. Gilgeous-Alexander's status for Sunday's matchup with Miami is currently questionable.
