Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Sends Strong Message To Chet Holmgren After Injury Scare In Game 4 vs Pacers

The Thunder need all hands on deck if they wish to win tonight’s Game 4 in Indiana and even the series. Moreover, they need their superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to not only play at an MVP level but also fulfil that leadership role to get his teammates going. And that’s exactly what he was seen doing when Chet Holmgren suffered an injury scare early in the game.

It happened in the first quarter. As Holmgren drove to the basket for a layup attempt, he lost his footing while trying to get past Pascal Siakam and fell hard on the floor. Turns out, his feet got tangled up and he seemingly hurt his left ankle. While he lay on the floor in agony, favoring his ankle, Shai walked up to him and delivered a strong message, “Come on man. We need you. Get up!”

Sure enough, the OKC big man heard the plea and continued playing. As the game progressed, SGA made sure to check on Chet once again, “Good shot boy. You alright? Get it.”

“We need you, get up!”
