After winning an NBA championship, it's almost time for the Oklahoma City Thunder to pay the price for success. The second-youngest champion in league history has its roster littered with rookie-scale deals by a bunch of players in their early 20s.

With his No. 4 banner hanging in the rafters of Paycom Center, Nick Collison received plenty of love in the Oklahoma City Thunder 's championship celebration. His retired jersey number will soon be accompanied by an NBA title banner that'll be unveiled in the season opener a few months from now.

Not even two weeks removed from its Game 7 NBA Finals win, Thunder basketball is back (sort of). Here’s everything you need to know about the NBA Summer League.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have announced their 2025 Summer League roster. Like usual, they will participate in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas for at least eight games during the two-week extravaganza.

From there, Brandon Carlson and Alex Ducas are among the notable players on the roster, as both were on a two-way contract in Oklahoma City last season and will be looking to prove their worth another. Furthermore, Viktor Lakhin is a legitimate NBA talent, but he recently suffered a foot injury and won’t be able to compete.
