Subject injury contributes to Thunder’s end of bank misery
The backend of the rotation of Oklahoma City has had a beating last month. Rookie Center Thomas Sorber suffered a torn ACL in his right knee and underwent an operation on September 16. Veteran Vooruit Kenrich Williams underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee on September 29 and is out for at least six to eight weeks.
In Goed Nieuws, Ajay Mitchell Trend remains in the right decision after his season was interrupted last year because of peat Teen. He looked pretty good in Las Vegas, making the Summer League second team.
In the beginning these are not big worries about the thunder. The rotation of the championship is still appropriate and there is not much that needs to be tackled there.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the starting point guard, with Cason Wallace and Mitchell behind him.
Yet, especially with young players such as the subject and Sorber, a valuable time for growth and development has been lost.
