Former OKC Thunder players in 2023 NBA playoffs
The 2023 NBA playoffs kicked off this weekend, which means that 16 teams will fight it out over the next couple of months for a championship.
The Oklahoma City Thunder had a chance to enter the big dance but were left out following their season-ending loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the play-in tournament.
Although the Thunder will miss the playoffs for the third consecutive season, that will likely not be the case for the foreseeable future past this June. The Thunder showed they have one of the brightest futures in the league led by their young core.
Nonetheless, let’s look at former Thunder players who are currently on playoff rosters this year. Fans will have plenty of rooting options available as the playoffs are filled with former Thunder alumni.
In order to qualify for this exercise, a player would need to appear in at least one game for the Thunder in their career.
