SGA maintained his dominance despite his Oklahoma City teammates missing hundreds of games to injury, dozens of which were incurred by co-stars Jalen Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein. He played the most minutes for one of the best defenses of all time, contributing as a plus team defender and playmaker. On offense, Gilgeous-Alexander joined Jordan and a handful of legends who have racked 4-straight seasons averaging over 30 points per game, and elevated his standing as the league's best volume scorer._”_\n>  - Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 2025-26 Most Valuable Player\n\nShai Gilgeous-Alexander is the 2025-26 Most Valuable Player#2 for #2Daily ThunderDaily Thunder Staff\n\n> _“_ All of the Spurs starters played 44 minutes or more.
