The Oklahoma City Thunder held their 2025-26 Media Day on Monday. Three months after they captured an NBA championship, they’re right back to it as they enter the upcoming season as the team to beat.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren talked to the media for the first time since they celebrated the Larry O’Brien trophy. The Thunder will run it back with mostly the same roster. Teams across the league also held their Media Day, as it’s the unofficial start to the next campaign.
