Thunder Big Man “Hurt” After Shocking Offseason Trade
The Oklahoma City Thunder shocked the NBA world by earning the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference last season. En route to a 57-25 record, their best since the 2013-14 season, the Thunder were led by MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Coach of the Year Mark Daigneault.

PARK HILL – The $25 million price tag for a new drug and alcohol treatment center is paid for by opioid manufacturers the Cherokee Nation sued in 2017.
