Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (ankle) exited Sunday night's game in the second half after spraining his right ankle. He stayed on the court for a while but was noticeably running gingerly. He finished the game with 10 points, two rebounds and five assists through 22 minutes of playing time. The Thunder are likely to be overly cautious with any injuries this season. Competing for a title probably isn't in the cards this year, so fantasy managers should check back for any updates on whether Giddey will be playing in the next game.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had his third-year option picked up by the team on Saturday. The No. 6 overall selection of the 2021 NBA Draft averaged 12.5 points, 7.8 boards, and 6.4 assists in 54 games. Unfortunately, his rookie campaign ended early due to a hip injury. Giddey is now healthy heading into the 2022-23 season, where he will reclaim his role in the starting lineup. Without question, the 20-year-old should provide points, assists, and rebounds for category managers. However, he shot 26.3% from deep last season, so that will need to improve.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (hip) mentioned that he is physically ready for this upcoming season. The young guard said he has been fine-tuning some things and spending more time in the weight room. Giddey was a stud last season before a hip injury knocked him down. When healthy, Giddey looks like he can do just about everything on an NBA court. There should be plenty of minutes for Giddey this upcoming season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his health right now. He is expected to be someone that comes off early in fantasy drafts this year.

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard Josh Giddey recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists during Wednesday's Summer League victory over Memphis, giving him his first triple-double of the summer. Giddey logged four triple-doubles during his rookie campaign last year, as he proved to be a stat sheet stuffer just months after being selected sixth overall in the NBA Draft. Giddey will hold down the starting OKC backcourt alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to open 2022-23, and his nightly triple-double potential stands to make him a fantasy commodity on the rise in the months to come.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey finished with 14 points during the Summer League victory over Utah on Tuesday. The 19-year-old was 5-for-9 from the field and added 11 assists, five boards, two steals, and two blocks. After Giddey was ruled out for the remainder of last season in March due to right hip soreness, he appeared to be back at 100%. Nonetheless, with a fantastic rookie year behind him, the No. 6 overall selection of the 2021 NBA Draft has a realistic chance to have an even better season. Giddey is also expected to be a routine fantasy producer in 2022-23, so as long as he stays healthy, managers should benefit immensely from his presence on the roster.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey (hip) is not expected to be back on the court anytime soon. Head coach Mark Daigneault said Giddey's injury is not a day-to-day issue and he is likely to miss time. This is certainly frustrating with the fantasy playoffs right around the corner. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will see his usage skyrocket through the roof with both Giddey and Luguentz Dort (shoulder) sidelined. Tre Mann should move into the starting five and is worth snagging in most fantasy formats.

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Josh Giddey and center Derrick Favors have entered the league's health and safety protocols as of Tuesday, ruling the duo out indefinitely. Giddey has emerged as a stat sheet stuffer during his rookie campaign, having amassed 10.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists across his first 30 professional contests. Favors has played a sparing role in the frontcourt for OKC, snagging just 4.9 boards per outing, which is on pace to set a new career low. Giddey's absence opens up more playmaking opportunities for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort, while Kenrich Williams will likely see a bump in minutes; Favors' absence paves the way for Mike Muscala and Isaiah Roby to hold down the center spot for the time being.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey logged his sixth double-double of the season by posting 10 boards, 10 assists, and zero points during a 117-112 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The 19-year-old went 0-for-8 from the field, including 0-2 from deep. The rookie guard is a fascinating player, as this is the second double-double in which one category wasn't points. The Australian product has shared playmaking responsibilities with point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander but needs to refine his scoring touch to enhance his fantasy profile. While Giddey's 7.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.5 stocks per game from the guard position are strong, his 38.8 shooting from the field, including 24.5% from deep, and 65.1% from the line leaves a bit to be desired.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey made things tick on Monday against Memphis with 11 assists and finished the contest with 19 points on 7-for-16 shooting. He was 3-for-8 with the three-ball and 2-for-6 at the line, adding three rebounds with one steal and three turnovers. Giddey narrowly missed a triple-double at the weekend against the Clippers and this was another nice all-around performance by the rookie. His shots don't want to drop on most nights, but Giddey always finds ways to make up for it with his work in other areas.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard/small forward Josh Giddey (illness) and center Derrick Favors (illness) have both been ruled out for the team's games Wednesday against Houston and Thursday vs. the Grizzlies. For Giddey, they will mark the first two absences of his career, as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has gotten off to a strong start in his first year. Favors' absence will reach at least three games, with the veteran ceding way in the frontcourt to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. While Giddey's shooting percentage (39.1%) has left something to be desired in category style formats, he has delivered an average of 10.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 5.8 assists on a nightly basis across his first 20 outings. The next chance that either will have at suiting up comes Monday in Detroit.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey ran the offense Monday night with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) unavailable, recording 15 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal and two blocks with three turnovers in 31 minutes. He missed all five attempts from deep but shot a decent 6-for-13 overall from the field and 3-for-3 at the line. The 19-year-old Australian is looking like a very exciting prospect with his all-around ability. He's also played well with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander alongside him, so OKC has built a very nice backcourt. Gilgeous-Alexander is considered day-to-day, and his first chance to return comes on Wednesday against Utah.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey produced a good outing with 14 points and a team-high 11 rebounds in Wednesday's 101-89 win over the Rockets, shooting 7-for-14 from the field. He dished out two assists with three turnovers and had one block as well in 34 minutes. This was Giddey's second double-double of the campaign, but he has actually filled the stat sheet nicely on a nightly basis and even flirts with a triple-double from time to time. His average line for the season stands at 9-7-6, which is very impressive for a 19-year-old rookie.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey produced a well-rounded fantasy line in Monday's loss to the Clippers. Giddey made just 6 of 15 shots from the field in a 15-point night, but it was his other contributions that stood out, as he chipped in seven assists, five rebounds, two steals, two blocks, and one three-pointer. The 19-year-old rookie should be on more fantasy managers' radars in roto formats, given his dependable playing time and solid production in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and threes- though his early struggles from the charity stripe do hurt his value a bit.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Josh Giddey enjoyed another fine outing against the Warriors on Saturday, finishing a 103-82 loss with 10 points, four rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. He shot 5-for-11 from the field in 28 minutes of action and registered two turnovers. The 19-year-old rookie is averaging a 13-6-7 line over his last four outings. The Thunder are a rebuilding side and look to develop players, giving youngsters like Giddey a good opportunity to make an impression. He'll go up against the L.A. teams next in a couple of difficult matchups.
