The Thunder said his ankle will be re-evaluated in mid-February.

Gilgeous-Alexander turned the ankle in Friday night's game against the Indiana Pacers while driving to the basket with 10:11 left in the third quarter. He was fouled on the play and remained in the game to shoot two free throws -- he missed both -- before hobbling to the locker room.

He had 10 points in 17 minutes before exiting. The Pacers won 113-110.

In 43 games this season, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a team-best 22.7 points to go with 5.5 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.
