Almost entire Thunder squad show out to support OKC in summer league loss to Heat

Almost entire Thunder squad show out to support OKC in summer league loss to Heat.

During the Oklahoma City Thunder’s summer league contest against the Miami Heat, players from the main roster started to trickle into the seats.

Nearly the entire squad attended the Thunder’s loss to the Heat in Las Vegas. This comes a game after several key members supported OKC in its loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault and Thunder owner Clay Bennett were also in attendance.

As the Thunder ascend to title contenders, summer league becomes more of an afterthought than the main attraction of the offseason. All of OKC’s top players sat out the offseason event this year.

This explains why the Thunder have had a forgettable SL stint. Even though the entertainment factor has lost its attractiveness, it’s a healthy sign of where OKC stands at its core.

The only notable absences were Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort and Alex Caruso. The first two are busy with Canada’s preparation for the 2024 Olympics.

This goes to show how tight-knit the Thunder are. They spent part of the offseason supporting their new teammates Dillon Jones and Ajay Mitchell.
