Giddey (hip) has been ruled out for the season, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey has been sidelined since late February, and the Thunder ultimately decided to shut him down for the rest of the season. Giddey shined in his rookie season, averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.0 threes in 31 minutes per game over 54 appearances. He should have ample time to get back to 100 percent before next season, and he could be even more productive with his first stateside campaign behind him.

Giddey (hip) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey remained limited at practice earlier in the week, so it's very much unclear when he might return to game action. Given the Thunder's status as a tanking team, there won't be any rush to get Giddey back on the floor, but he's a major part of the franchise's future, so they shouldn't have too much motivation to hold him out.

Coach Mark Daigneault said Friday that Giddey (hip) will be re-evaluated at the end of next week, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey has been sidelined since Feb. 25 due to his hip injury, and he'll be forced to miss at least another week. The rookie showed promise to begin the year by averaging 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 31.5 minutes per game across 54 appearances, but he might not return to the court in time to provide much value for the tail end of the fantasy playoffs.

Coach Mark Daigneault won't have an update on Giddey's (hip) injury for a "couple of weeks," Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that many fantasy seasons in late March, this could effectively spell the end of Giddey's debut fantasy campaign. He's been out since Feb. 25, and the Thunder have no reason to rush the rookie back. In his continued absence, more minutes should remain available for Tre Mann, Aaron Wiggins (ankle) and other backcourt options. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has also been on a tear in Giddey's absence.

Giddey (hip), who was ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Kings, appears likely to miss additional time, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports. "It could be a minute," head coach Mark Daigneault said, regarding the length of Giddey's absence. "[Giddey] is not day-to-day."
EDGE Analysis
With that, fantasy managers should conservatively plan for Giddey to miss Wednesday's game in Denver, though Daigneault's comments suggest the star rookie is in danger of missing Oklahoma City's entire four-game week. Tre Mann drew a second consecutive start out of the backcourt Monday with Giddey sidelined.

Coach Mark Daigneault said Sunday that Giddey (hip) won't play Monday against the Kings, and the rookie "could miss some time" beyond that, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey was a late addition to Friday's injury report, and as is usually the case with late additions, he was sidelined for the second half of the Thunder's back-to-back. Based on Daigneault's comments, the rookie may be looking at an extended absence, but until there's further clarification, fantasy managers should continue to monitor Giddey on a game-by-game basis. In his absence, Aaron Wiggins and Tre Mann should once again see increased run.

Giddey has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers due to right hip soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey was a late addition to Friday's injury report, and he'll be unavailable for the second half of a back-to-back set. Aaron Wiggins and Tre Mann should see increased run against Indiana.

Giddey recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds and six assists during Friday's 50-49 loss to Team Isiah during the Rising Stars competition at All-Star Weekend.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey played his typical game during the All-Star festivities, as he finished with team highs in rebounds (nine) and assists (seven). The rookie only took two shots during the contest and finished with just two points, but his two missed free throws certainly loomed large as Team Worthy eventually lost by a single point in the new Rising Stars format.

Giddey supplied 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Giddey might have needed 18 shots to score 17 points, but those efficiency issues do not matter much if the rookie continues to deliver these stat lines almost on a daily basis. Firmly entrenched as a core piece of the franchise's future, Giddey has been nothing short of excellent in recent weeks. He's averaging 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game while putting up a triple-double in each of his last three contests.

Giddey closed Monday's 127-123 overtime win over the Knicks with 28 points (11-22 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 12 assists, 11 rebounds and one steal across 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
For the second game in a row, Giddey came away with a triple-double and faced no limitations in terms of playing time after head coach Mark Daigneault recently hinted that the rookie would likely be capped at around 30 minutes through the All-Star break. Since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) exited the lineup in late January, Giddey has been stellar as the lead playmaker out of the backcourt. In the nine games without Gilgeous-Alexander, Giddey is averaging 16.1 points, 8.9 boards, 7.2 assists, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.7 steals.
