Could OKC Thunder gain an edge vs. opponents via earlier return to practice?
With some teams yet to reopen practice facilities could the OKC Thunder gain an edge over potential opponents from their earlier return to the Thunder Ion?
Almost two months after the NBA league suspended play teams began reopening practice facilities. The OKC Thunder joined this phase when they reopened the Thunder Ion on May 18th. At week start 19 teams had reached this phase of slowly easing back to some sense of normalcy.
Of the remaining11 teams, most joined the majority this week by either reopening their doors or slowly phasing in players returning for workouts.
