The Oklahoma City Thunder have decided to rest three key starters, including MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, for their upcoming game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This decision comes as Jalen Williams and Lu Dort are sidelined with injuries, raising eyebrows given previous scrutiny over player participation policies. The Thunder currently enjoy a dominant position in the Western Conference, leading by over a dozen games and closely pursuing the league's best overall record, while also holding a strategic advantage regarding the 76ers' future draft picks.
