After 10 seasons covering the NBA, including nine as a beat writer, Darnell Mayberry is moving into a new role. He'll coordinate Thunder coverage while serving as the NewsOK Sports web editor. This new role will allow The Oklahoman to continue to leverage Darnell's experience and knowledge covering the Thunder and NBA while extending his skills to other topics vital to readers.
Anthony Slater, who previously worked with Darnell on the Thunder beat, moves into a more prominent role covering the Thunder. Anthony will be joined on the beat by Erik Horne, who previously covered the Thunder and other sports as our NewsOK Sports web editor.
