Just like he has done dozens of times since last summer, second-year guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit the weight room then walked onto the practice court at the Thunder Ion on Wednesday morning. He picked up a ball and with assistant coach Brian Keefe by his side, went through his on-court workout regimen.
In shifts, in the same building but spaced apart from the rest of his Thunder teammates, it was Gilgeous-Alexander’s first official team activity as a part of the minicamp in Oklahoma City before the 37-person traveling party embarks for Orlando on July 8. Since the NBA went on hiatus, however, Gilgeous-Alexander has been keeping his basketball skills sharp by either getting to a court outside.
