The Oklahoma City Thunder are gearing up for a pivotal Summer League following their recent NBA championship. With only weeks separating them from the Finals, the focus has shifted to the health of their new draft picks and returning players.

Notably, Thomas Sorber and Brooks Barnhizer, selected at No. 12 and No. 44, respectively, both faced season-ending injuries during their last college seasons. Sorber underwent surgery for turf toe in February, while Barnhizer confirmed he is fit and ready to make an impact after a solid pre-draft workout session.

Nikola Topic, the Thunder's 2024 No. 12 pick, is another player to watch. He missed his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL sustained in May 2024. Although his status is yet to be confirmed, there is optimism that he may participate in Summer League games.
