Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is available for Thursday's contest against the Phoenix Suns, head coach Mark Daigneault told reporters Wednesday, according to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman.

Gilgeous-Alexander has missed the Thunder's past 10 games due to an ankle sprain. The rising star sustained the injury on Jan. 28 against the Indiana Pacers and was on crutches shortly afterward.

Oklahoma City went 4-6 during Gilgeous-Alexander's absence, with rookie guard Tre Mann starting in place of the Canadian.

Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 22.7 points, 5.5 assists, 4.7 boards, and 1.1 steals over 43 appearances this season.
