In a 101-94 loss to Mark Daigneault and the Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Mavericks’ first-overall pick, Cooper Flagg, had possibly the worst outing of his rookie campaign, thus far.
Cooper Flagg’s first NBA season has already seen its fair share of ups and downs. The top overall pick struggled in his debut, managing just 10 points against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are still undefeated, and their starting center is a big reason why. Throughout this season, the Thunder have played in some entertaining contests.
Chet Holmgren continues to improve in his third NBA season. Through four games heading into the undefeated Oklahoma City Thunder's home matchup with the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday, Holmgren is averaging 23.0 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 56.9% from the floor.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 13 of his 23 points in the third quarter, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder stay undefeated with a 101-94 road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.
The all-time list of NBA All-Stars is obviously long, and notably distinguished. However, there are some players — for various reasons — who the casual, or even most-dedicated, NBA fans can't recall having earned All-Star nods.
No one is doubting the idea of Cooper Flagg being one of the best players in the NBA someday. But as a rookie for a Dallas Mavericks team in transition, he is bound to have plenty of growing pains.
After Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren was listed as questionable for Monday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, he was upgraded to available.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren have done plenty to help the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 3-0 start to the season. But with Jalen Williams still out following offseason wrist surgery, second-year reserve shooting guard Ajay Mitchell is having a big impact as well.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have seen their superstar, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, turn into one of the best players in the world. He is fresh off a season that saw him collect the NBA MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP and Finals MVP to go along with another All-Star and First-Team All-NBA selection.
Thanks to a right wrist surgery, Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Jalen Williams is sitting out the first few weeks of the 2025-26 season. Though the absence of the rising star is hardly inconspicuous, it only means that the next man up would come from the Thunder bench.
Look, I’ve covered a lot of basketball games in my time, and I can tell you this much: when your season opener requires an oxygen tank and a chiropractor, you might want to reconsider your game plan.
Gilgeous-Alexander was widely termed a "free throw merchant" during his historic campaign last year when he won the NBA MVP, scoring title and Finals MVP.
The Oklahoma City Thunder received their championship rings and raised their first-ever championship banner on Tuesday. They also endured a promising Opening Night clash with the Houston Rockets.
