OKC Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will play in his team's NBA Cup quarterfinals home game against the Phoenix Suns at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The Dallas Mavericks face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, Dec. 5, 2025 (12/5/25) at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.

Suns guard Devin Booker took aim at the Thunder’s defense recently, accusing them of getting away with grabbing and holding other teams while saying the “secret” is out. On Tuesday, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault’s response to Booker was shared with the world.

The Thunder are unstoppable right now, and Kendrick Perkins is backing them to set an eye-popping single-season wins record.
