For anyone competing on Jeopardy! in the future, they may want to know who Gilgeous-Alexander is. While only 27 years old, SGA is a four-time All-Star and a three-time All-NBA First Team player.
2025 was a breakout year for Gilgeous-Alexander. He was named NBA MVP, and the Thunder won the NBA Finals (SGA was named MVP of the series).

Through 49 games in the 2025-26 season, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 31.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game. Currently, he is dealing with an injury that has caused him to miss several games.
Even without SGA, the Thunder are rolling. They are 44-14 and in first place in the Northwest Division. The Thunder are also in first place in the Western Conference. They are coming off an eight-point win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and will next play the Toronto Raptors .
SGA was selected with the 11th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Kentucky by the Charlotte Hornets .

He has remained with them for the next seven seasons.
