In a shocking turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the NBA community, Oklahoma City Thunder’s All-Star point guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has been suspended indefinitely from all league activities following a positive drug test, according to sources close to the league.The NBA has yet to release an official statement, but multiple insider reports confirm that the 27-year-old tested positive for a banned substance during routine testing ahead of the Thunder’s preseason training camp.
While the exact substance has not been publicly disclosed, early rumors suggest it may be a performance-enhancing drug, a serious violation of the NBA’s anti-drug policy.
Gilgeous-Alexander, known for his composure, leadership, and elite scoring ability, was coming off the best season of his career, averaging over 30 points per game and leading the Thunder to a deep playoff run. The suspension comes at a time when Oklahoma City was building strong momentum heading into the 2025–26 season with championship aspirations.
Thunder fans and NBA analysts alike are stunned by the news, many expressing disbelief that such a disciplined and respected player could be involved in such controversy.
“This is absolutely heartbreaking,” said a longtime Thunder fan. “Shai was the face of our franchise. We just hope this is all a mistake.”
No timeline has been given for his return, and the league is expected to launch a formal investigation into the matter. The Thunder organization has declined to comment at this time.
