OKC Thunder stats: Team finishes 28th in average home game attendance this season

The rebuilding Thunder struggled to fill up Paycom Center this season.

With the 2021-22 regular season now behind us, the Oklahoma City Thunder officially finished 28th in average attendance and 27th in total attendance in its 41 home games, per ESPN. The Thunder filled up 81.7 percent of Paycom Center during the season in its home games.

This number is not surprising. Small market rebuilding teams usually bring in low attendance numbers as the team focuses more on player development than on tangible win-loss results. The number will most likely rise when the team improves over the next few seasons with high draft picks and the development of current players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.
