The Thunder guard is adjusting to the shorter injury report.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander explains his viral Instagram caption as the Thunder extend their win streak and dominate the Mavericks atop the West.

There is still quite a ways to go in the 2025-26 NBA season, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are off to a historic start. If they keep this up, they could be a legitimate threat to the Golden State Warriors’ single-season wins record of 73.

The Oklahoma City Thunder became just the third NBA team to record a start of 21-1 or better. They're on pace to make history.

The Thunder have the Utah Jazz’s first-round pick from a 2021 deal that allowed the Jazz to shed salary by sending Derrick Favors to the Thunder. That pick is top-eight protected, so if the Jazz pick later than eighth, their pick goes to Oklahoma City.

The Dallas Mavericks (8-16) kicked off the first night of a back-to-back on Friday, taking on the Oklahoma City Thunder (22-1), who put their 13-game win streak on the line. OKC kept their train rolling with a 132-111 drubbing.
