Oklahoma City has started the season in a very unique situation — shorthanded. Most teams head into the season with a clean bill of health, hoping for it to stay that way the rest of the season.
It's been said before. The depth of this Oklahoma City Thunder team is admirable. General manager Sam Presti has forged this. And while he and Mark Daigneault plug and play to their heart's content with virtually no negative pushback, you can sometimes take it for granted.
Four games into the 2025-26 regular season, Isaiah Hartenstein knows that Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren’s production is a big reason the defending champion’s undefeated thus far.
The good news is, the Oklahoma City Thunder are a perfect 4-0. The bad news is that the OKC Thunder are the worst team the NBA has to offer in 3-point percentage, stroking it at a 27.9% clip from downtown despite being 13th in the league in attempts per game (38.5).
Despite shutting down Cooper Flagg, the win over the Dallas Mavericks revealed several offensive struggles for OKC that need to be addressed. It was a game that turned up and down, especially with the Thunder leading the whole game.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
Thunder forward Chet Holmgren will miss his first game this season on Tuesday because of tightness in his back. Oklahoma City (4-0) ruled out Holmgren for the home game against the Sacramento Kings in the second game of a back-to-back.
Cooper Flagg’s first NBA season has already seen its fair share of ups and downs. The top overall pick struggled in his debut, managing just 10 points against the San Antonio Spurs.
In a 101-94 loss to Mark Daigneault and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks’ first-overall pick, Cooper Flagg, had possibly the worst outing of his rookie campaign, thus far.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are still undefeated, and their starting center is a big reason why. Throughout this season, the Thunder have played in some entertaining contests.
Chet Holmgren continues to improve in his third NBA season. Through four games heading into the undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder's home matchup with the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, Holmgren is averaging 23.0 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 56.9% from the floor.
After Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren was listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, he was upgraded to available.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren have done plenty to help the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 3-0 start to the season. But with Jalen Williams still out following offseason wrist surgery, second-year reserve shooting guard Ajay Mitchell is having a big impact as well.
As the superstar player for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is expected to be a massive contributor for the team. He already has a tremendous track record, having won a championship in the 2024-25 season, which also included winning the regular season and Finals MVP awards.
The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their terrific start to the 2025-26 NBA season. The defending champions of the NBA faced off against the Atlanta Hawks and walked away with a comfortable 117-100 win.
Thanks to a right wrist surgery, Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Jalen Williams is sitting out the first few weeks of the 2025-26 season. Though the absence of the rising star is hardly inconspicuous, it only means that the next man up would come from the Thunder bench.
Gilgeous-Alexander was widely termed a "free throw merchant" during his historic campaign last year when he won the NBA MVP, scoring title and Finals MVP.
The Oklahoma City Thunder received their championship rings and raised their first-ever championship banner on Tuesday. They also endured a promising Opening Night clash with the Houston Rockets.
