There’s no denying the impact that the Oklahoma City Thunder have had on the COVID-19 response to the United States.
Now, the team’s response is having an impact on an important member of the franchise: its employees.
The official Thunder Twitter account released a statement on Friday that read as follows:
“Our game-night staff are vital to the game experience and are part of our Thunder family, whether they are employed by the Thunder or by ASM Global, the company contracted by the City of Oklahoma City to operate the arena. To help them during this time of uncertainty, the Thunder will offer them financial assistance.
