Pour one out for the Victor Wembanyama to Oklahoma City dream.
Okay, it could still happen. There’s still 24 games left in the season and the Thunder have, despite what the strength of schedule may say, a pretty tough closing slate. The Lakers and Blazers are hot on OKC’s tails and most of the play-in level teams are either getting healthier or got better at the deadline. And if the Thunder fall a few spots down the stretch, all it takes is some lottery luck for a Thunder fan fantasy lineup of SGA-Giddey-JDub-Chet-Wemby to come true.
But as of now, OKC is in the #10 play-in spot.
