    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cleared to return for Thunder

    You have reached ESPN's Australian edition. Stay on current site or go to US version.

    Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was cleared to return Thursday after missing the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder's past nine games because of an abdominal strain.

    Gilgeous-Alexander, who is not on the official injury report, will be available for Friday's home game against the Denver Nuggets.

    The Thunder went 5-4 in Gilgeous-Alexander's absence after he suffered the injury during a Feb. 3 win over the Orlando Magic. Oklahoma City's lead atop the Western Conference standings has been trimmed to two games over the San Antonio Spurs, who have won 10 straight games and own the season tiebreaker between the teams.

    Thunder vs Nuggets injury report, prediction: Is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing tonight?

    OKC Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is available to play in a home game against the Denver Nuggets at 8:30 p.m. CST Friday.

    Gilgeous-Alexander missed the last nine games due to an abdominal strain. He'll look to help OKC (45-15) bounce back from a 124-116 road loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

    Meanwhile, Denver (37-22) continues to be without Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson due to right hamstring strains. Jamal Murray is also questionable due to an illness.
