Shai Gilgeous-Alexander steps back from OKC's roster decisions
Summary

Following their 111-103 Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stated he will not influence Oklahoma City's upcoming roster decisions. The Thunder fell short of returning to the NBA Finals, and amid key absences, the team's depth struggled against the Spurs. With offseason adjustments needed and a focus on better matchups, Gilgeous-Alexander expressed confidence in general manager Sam Presti, allowing him to guide roster changes. This summer, the Thunder will evaluate potential changes among key players like Isaiah Hartenstein and Lu Dort.
