Camp Roster Goes Official

OKCThunder.com posted the team's 2026-27 training camp roster on September 28, the first official list since a run of additions closed out the summer. The 21 names include the three players signed September 26 — Robert McCray V, Andrew Holifield and Zhaire Smith — plus Christoph Tilly, who signed an Exhibit 10 deal on September 14.

Still Zero Games Played

The record stands at 0-0, with nothing played yet in 2026-27. Camp turns into games on October 6, when the Thunder host the Pelicans, followed by the Bucks on October 7, a road trip to Atlanta on October 12, and the Pacers on October 13 before the regular-season opener October 20 at San Antonio, broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
