The OKC Thunder has undergone several changes in preparation for the next NBA season. They have acquired promising players in the 2023 NBA draft and are also welcoming the return of a key player who missed all of last season due to injury. With these new additions, the Thunder is gearing up for a stronger performance in the upcoming season.
Cason Wallace and Keyontae Johnson Join Thunder
In the 2023 NBA draft, OKC Thunder selected Cason Wallace with the No. 10 pick after trading with the Dallas Mavericks. Furthermore, they also obtained Keyontae Johnson with the 50th overall draft pick. Both players are expected to contribute to the team’s performance by bringing their respective talents to the court.
Chet Holmgren’s NBA Debut
Arguably the most anticipated event for the OKC Thunder next season is the debut of Chet Holmgren, who missed all of last season due to a foot injury. Holmgren has already showcased his abilities in the Thunder’s first NBA Summer League game at Salt Lake City, where he scored 15 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and contributed two assists and four blocks in just 29 minutes of play.
With the addition of Wallace and Johnson, as well as the return of Holmgren, the OKC Thunder is poised to have a dynamic lineup next season. This combination of fresh talent and returning ability promises a more competitive team, and fans eagerly await to see how it all comes together on the court.
