2024–25 Oklahoma City Thunder season

2024–25 Oklahoma City Thunder season

The 2024–25 Oklahoma City Thunder season was the 17th season of the franchise in Oklahoma City and its 59th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA). On March 12, 2025, the Thunder clinched their 2nd consecutive playoff berth with a win over Boston. On April 10, following a loss by the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Thunder won the Maurice Podoloff Trophy and home-court for the entire playoffs for clinching the best record in the NBA for the first time in franchise history. The Thunder outscored their opponents by 12.9 points per game during the regular season, which was more than half a point better than the previous record set by the 1971–72 Los Angeles Lakers when Los Angeles outscored opponents by 12.3 points per game.

On April 20, the Thunder defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 131–80, the biggest Game 1 victory in playoff history. Team star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won the 2025 NBA MVP award, becoming the third recipient in franchise history; Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook previously won for the Thunder in (/wiki/2013–14OklahomaCityThunderseason) and (/wiki/2016–17OklahomaCityThunderseason), respectively. On May 28, 2025, the Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals to clinch their first NBA Finals berth since (/wiki/2012NBAFinals) and their second in Oklahoma City. They would go on to defeat the Indiana Pacers in seven games, winning their second NBA championship, and their first since (/wiki/1979NBAFinals), when they were known as the Seattle SuperSonics. In Game 7, they were the first team to score 100 points or more in Game 7 of the NBA Finals since the Los Angeles Lakers and Detroit Pistons did so in (/wiki/1988NBAFinals).

At an average age of 25.6 years old, they were the second youngest team to win an NBA championship, behind only the 1976–77 Portland Trail Blazers. Their Finals victory was the first championship of any major professional sport in the state of Oklahoma. The Thunder also became the fourth team in NBA history to win 84 games or better in a single season, including playoff victories (the Chicago Bulls did it twice, followed by the Golden State Warriors). They also became the first team in NBA history to play for the NBA Cup and the NBA Finals in the same season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder drew an average home attendance of 17,972, the 16th-highest of all NBA teams.

Previous season

2024–25 Oklahoma City Thunder season

The Thunder finished the 2023–24 season 57–25 to finish first in the Northwest Division, first in the Western conference for the first time since (/wiki/2012–13OklahomaCityThunderseason) and qualified for the playoffs for the first time since (/wiki/2019–20OklahomaCityThunderseason). The Thunder won its first round series, sweeping the New Orleans Pelicans before losing to the fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks in six games. The Mavericks went on to win the western conference, before being defeated 4-1 in the finals by the Celtics.

With the return of Chet Holmgren from injury, the Thunder again exceeded their win expectations behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Holmgren, and second-year forward Jalen Williams. Gilgeous-Alexander finished second in MVP voting behind 30.1 points on a career high 53.5% field goal percentage.

Offseason

Draft

Round	Pick	Player	Position	Nationality	School/club
1	12	Nikola Topić	PG	Serbia	Crvena Zvezda
Dillon Jones and Ajay Mitchell were later traded to the Thunder

The Thunder had one first-round pick entering the draft. This would be first NBA draft since the draft was first trimmed down to two rounds back in (/wiki/1989NBAdraft) that the event would take place in multiple days instead of just one day. The pick – originally acquired from the Houston Rockets – had a 1.50% chance to win the first pick, acquired through the Russell Westbrook trade in 2019. With an 85.2% chance at staying at twelfth, the Thunder ended the night with the 12th overall pick.

On the first night of the draft, the Thunder selected Nikola Topić out of Crvena Zvezda in Serbia with the 12th pick. Coming out of Crvena Zvezda, Topić averaged 15.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, being named the ABA League Top Prospect Award winner. In the 2023 FIBA U18 European Championship, Topić led Serbia to the gold medal, scoring 24 points in the championship game. Listed as 6'6", Topić drew comparisons to Josh Giddey and Goran Dragić as a big guard with excellent pace when driving to the basket and a great distributor. The Thunder then traded five future second-round picks to the New York Knicks in exchange for the draft rights to Dillon Jones, the 26th overall pick. A four-year senior out of Weber State, Jones averaged 20.8 points on 48.9% shooting, 9.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.0 steals, finishing fifth in school history in points, third in rebounds, second in assists, and first in steals. In his last season, Jones led the Big Sky Conference in total points, defensive rebounds, and assists per games, being named the Big Sky Player of the Year. In a series of trades made during the second day of the draft, the Thunder acquired the draft rights to Ajay Mitchell, the 38th overall pick, from the New York Knicks in exchange for the draft rights to Oso Ighodaro and cash considerations after first acquiring the draft rights to Quinten Post from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Lindy Waters III and then acquiring the draft rights to Ighodaro from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for the draft rights to Post and cash considerations. Mitchell played three seasons for UC Santa Barbara, averaging 20.0 points on 50.4% shooting, being named to the All-Big West First Team and second in the Big West Conference in points per game last season. Described by having a solid frame, Mitchell is seen as a project player needing to work on his shooting form.

The Thunder ended 2024 NBA draft night with Serbian guard Nikola Topić, Weber State guard Dillon Jones, and UC Santa Barbara guard Ajay Mitchell.

Free agency

For this offseason, free agency began on June 30, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. EST. Bismack Biyombo, Gordon Hayward, Mike Muscala were set to hit unrestricted free agency while two-way players Keyontae Johnson and Olivier Sarr were set to hit restricted free agency. In addition, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins had an upcoming team option heading into the season. On June 29, the Thunder declined Isaiah Joe's and Aaron Wiggins's team option in order to work on long-term deals with Joe and Wiggins. On July 1, it was reported that Isaiah Joe agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract to re-sign with the Thunder, which he later signed on July 7. In two seasons, Joe averaged 8.8 points on 41.2% three-point shooting, ranking 18th in the league in three-point shooting. On the same day, it was reported that Aaron Wiggins agreed to a five-year, $47 million contract to re-sign with the Thunder, which he later signed on July 7. Originally from the 2021 NBA draft, Wiggins averaged 6.9 points, shooting a career-high 56.2% from the field and 49.2% from three-point range.

On July 1, it was reported that Isaiah Hartenstein agreed to a three-year, $87 million contract with the Thunder, which he later signed on July 6. Beginning his career with the Houston Rockets, Hartenstein developed with the Los Angeles Clippers and spent the last two seasons with the New York Knicks, starting 49 games for the Knicks following Mitchell Robinson's injury. During the 2023–24 season, Hartenstein averaged 7.8 points, 8.3 rebounds. 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks on 64.4% shooting. With Hartenstein, the Thunder addressed their rebounding issues after ranking 28th in the league in rebounding percentage.

Josh Giddey was traded to the Chicago Bulls for Alex Caruso after three seasons with the Thunder.

Trades

On June 21, the Thunder acquired Alex Caruso from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Josh Giddey. Caruso, who started his professional career for the Oklahoma City Blue in the NBA G League, has been a two-time All-Defensive Team member, averaged a career-high 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.0 blocks on 46.8% shooting and 40.8% three-point shooting last season. Being honored the 2024 NBA Hustle Award, Caruso led the league in deflections per game and was the only player in the league to record 130-plus threes, 100-plus steals, and 70-plus blocks last season. With the emergence of Jalen Williams, Giddey averaged a career-low 12.3 points in only 25.1 minutes per game. Despite improving his three-point shooting, Giddey was inconsistent, resulting in defenses sagging off of him that led to head coach Mark Daigneault benching him during the 2024 NBA playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks. Thunder general manager Sam Presti quoted that the Thunder planned to bring Giddey off the bench next season, however Giddey revealed he wasn't "overly eager."

Summer League

The Thunder participated in the 2024 Salt Lake City Summer League alongside the Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and the Philadelphia 76ers. This marked the third straight year the Thunder participated in the round-robin showcase. On July 7, the Thunder announced their summer league roster for Salt Lake City which notably featured Ousmane Dieng, Keyontae Johnson, Adam Flagler, Dillon Jones, and Ajay Mitchell.

The Thunder participated in the 2024 Las Vegas Summer League following a 2–1 record in the Salt Lake City Summer League. Head coach Daniel Dixon announced that Ousmane Dieng will sit out in Las Vegas after playing three games in Utah, averaging 15.7 points on 34.6% shooting.
