As the OKC Thunder takes to the court for the remainder of the season it will be with a predominantly young squad.
Al Horford has been shut down for the season as the team focuses on development (and tanking). The core trio will also be out this evening as Darius Bazley and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander miss their ninth and third consecutive games and Luguentz Dort is out in the concussion protocol.
Moving forward, the team may not be in as many games as they were through the first half of the schedule.
