The ownership stake held by late Chesapeake Energy Corp. co-founder Aubrey McClendon in the Oklahoma City Thunder has reportedly been made available for purchase.
According to Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg, McClendon's 22 percent ownership stake in the franchise has been held by his estate since his death in 2016.
The ownership stake becomes available during a transitional period for the Thunder after ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that they traded Paul George to the Los Angeles Clippers and agreed to deal Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets this offseason.
