Giddey (ankle) is considered day-to-day as he recovers from a sprained left ankle, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
The sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft rolled his left ankle early in Sunday's summer league game against the Pistons, and his night was over after just five minutes of action. The good news is Giddey avoided a major injury, but it's possible the Thunder could be cautious and hold him out of another game or two. Oklahoma City is back in action Wednesday against New Orleans.

Giddey will not return to Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League matchup against the Pistons due to a sprained left ankle, Marc Spears of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury occurred early in the first quarter, but Giddey insisted on remaining in the game, despite obvious discomfort. Eventually, the Thunder's medical staff opted to shut the rookie down for the remainder of the game. The hope is that Giddey -- the sixth overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft -- will be available for Wednesday's game against New Orleans. Prior to exiting, Giddey scored two points (1-3 FG) in five minutes of action.
