Given that the Thunder were off on the day of Ares’ birth, Gilgeous-Alexander and Summers most likely welcomed him jointly.
The previous evening, Oklahoma City defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 2 of their NBA Playoffs first-round series.
Summers and Gilgeous-Alexander started dating in 2017.
They only recently tied the wedding on Valentine’s Day, a few months ago.

This year has been amazing for the 6-foot-6 guard, both on and off the court.
He helped OKC win the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference by averaging 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 2.0 steals.
Because of his bravery, Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the 2024 MVP contenders.
OKC is still awaiting word on who their next playoff opponent will be.

However, the Clippers bravely won Game 4 on Sunday, 116-111, to square the series at 2-2.
This implies that the series can conclude as soon as possible, on Friday, when Game 6 is slated to take place, allowing SGA to spend a lot of time with his newborn.
