Live Coverage: Thunder at Trail Blazers

DEC 13, 2016 - It started in Summer League when Semaj Christon looked like a promising NBA player alongside Cameron Payne. When Payne broke his foot for the first time, Christon, a third-year professional, would finally get his NBA chance, right? Not yet. The Thunder signed Ronnie Price. Then, Christon beat out Price in training camp. Most didn't think he'd make the team. Now, he's an integral part of it. With Victor Oladipo's right wrist injury leaving his status in question for the Thunder's two-game road trip — starting in Portland on Tuesday — it's the right time for Christon to find his rhythm.
