It has been a very hectic 24 hours for the OKC Thunder, recapped by Gabriel Ebersole in this video. Not only did they buy at the trade deadline, fleecing the Philadelphia 76ers for uncrowned 2025 NBA Rookie of the Year Jared McCain (2024 NBA Draft no. 16 from Duke basketball) by trading the Houston Rockets' first round pick, but they were also sellers, moving Ousmane Dieng in a three team deal with the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls. But this wasn't an off day for the OKC Thunder -- they had a primetime game against rival Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, and the San Antonio Spurs. However, on the back end of a back to back, not only was the entire starting five (SGA, JDub, Lu Dort, Chet Holmgren, and Isaiah Hartenstein) missing the contest -- so was the majoring of the bench. Even in a loss, the 8 man Thunder rotation, which consisted of three 2-way (G League) players, put up a strong fight. Gabriel Ebersole breaks down some of the bright player performances from Aaron Wiggins, Jaylin Williams, Brandon Carlson, and Chris Youngblood in the 116-106 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. --- Thunder Digest covers the latest reports, news and rumors regarding the Oklahoma City Thunder.
