There are hundreds of touchpoints each year that will impact the trajectory of the Thunder as a franchise. The vast majority of those moments are within the organization’s control, but on Tuesday night, there will be an annual NBA event that is all up to chance.
At the 2021 NBA Draft Lottery (7:30 p.m. CT, ESPN), the ping pong balls will bounce and will reveal the Thunder’s selections in the 2021 NBA Draft, which will be held on Thursday, July 29. The Thunder will be represented at the lottery by Nazr Mohammed, who played for the Thunder for three seasons and now serves as both a pro scout for the Thunder and the General Manager of the Thunder’s G-League affiliate, the OKC Blue.
