CAP CRUNCH: @TooGoodToTank says those tax+apron concerns are overstated.
"OKC has a dream roster Ballmer would pay $8 billion to transfer to LA. They're not paying to crack open a championship window; it's already wide open. Take it from Sam Presti..." dailythunder.com/dynasties-a…

G/F Dalen Terry has agreed on a two-year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell ESPN. Terry enters his fifth NBA season after the former No. overall 18 pick spent time in Chicago and Philadelphia, and went to training camp with Golden State last month.
Russell Westbrook was the most consequential member of Thunder during his 11 seasons with the team. Westbrook led the team to its first NBA Finals, set the single season record for most triple doubles, won an MVP in Thunder blue, and made us all ask, "Why Not?"
Retiring #0 just makes sense.
Notably, the Thunder did not pick up Nikola Topić’s fourth-year option. After an ACL tear, cancer treatment and back surgery, the 2024 No. 12 pick has barely had a chance to show what made him a lottery talent. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Per the Thunder: The Thunder has exercised the fourth-year option on Jared McCain and the third-year option on Thomas Sorber.
Thunder injury report for Monday at Cleveland:
OUT:
Alex Caruso (right ankle sprain)
Chet Holmgren (right knee recovery)
Thomas Sorber (right knee surgery)
Nikola Topić (back surgery)
Cason Wallace (left shoulder surgery)
Jalen Williams (left ankle surgery)
Per the Thunder: Jalen Williams underwent successful surgery to repair his fractured left fibula and reconstruct his ankle ligaments. He’ll be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season.
Thunder injury report for tonight at Dallas:
QUESTIONABLE: Ajay Mitchell (right ankle sprain)
OUT: Alex Caruso, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Nikola Topić and Thomas Sorber.
Tip-off is 8:30 p.m. CT.
OKC’s about to play significant minutes without its top 4 perimeter defenders from last season
Cason Wallace
Alex Caruso (assuming here with that ankle turn)
Jalen Williams
Lu Dort
life comes at you fast.

BREAKING: Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams has a dislocated left ankle and fractured fibula; Cason Wallace has a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Both will undergo surgery and be sidelined for several months -- most, if not the entire season.
Thunder players OUT tonight vs. Phoenix:
Chet Holmgren (right patellar tendinitis)
Jalen Williams (left lower leg injury)
Cason Wallace (left shoulder soreness)
Nikola Topić (low back surgery)
Thomas Sorber (right knee surgery)
Sam Presti held press conferences after Chet Holmgren's lisfranc injury in August 2022, and after Kevin Durant was removed from basketball activities indefinitely because of persistent foot problems in March 2015.
Thunder starts the season 3-0 after a 108-101 win over the Clippers. But the the result is far overshadowed by a serious leg injury suffered by Jalen Williams in the closing minutes.
This team is such a close-knit team, and Dub is a crucial part of the chemistry and character of this team. Seeing Jalen hurt, after finally being healthy, is just a gut punch. Not only because he's an elite player, but more importantly, because of who he is and what he means to the team, the fans, and the city.
Just unfair. Just devastating.
It’s gameday! ⚡ The Thunder host the Clippers tonight. If you’re not heading to Paycom, remember: tonight marks the first Thunder+ broadcast.
