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.

And after their offseason moves this summer, the Thunder likely have further solidified themselves as title contenders. Most notably, the team traded Josh Giddey to the Chicago Bulls for defensive ace Alex Caruso.
