With OKC Thunder injury woes, there are no answers right now. And that's OK

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder's star guard, struggled to find answers following a series of devastating injuries to his team. The Thunder suffered a 119-98 road loss to the Houston Rockets, their sixth consecutive defeat, leaving them short-handed. Injuries to key players like Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren have left the Thunder with a daunting list of challenges to overcome.

Wallace and Williams underwent successful surgeries, while Holmgren is expected to return in 8-10 weeks. The team has already lost four All-Defensive players in a single day, and it's set to face even tougher opponents in the coming weeks. Gilgeous-Alexander's postgame interview was brief, acknowledging the emotional toll of the situation and the absence of his teammates' contributions.
