Oklahoma City Thunder players prepare for 2026-27 season training camp
Summary

The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the upcoming 2026-27 NBA season as co-title favorites alongside the San Antonio Spurs. As training camp approaches at the end of September, the status of Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell, and Thomas Sorber remains a focal point for the organization. All three players ended the previous campaign sidelined by injuries, with Williams managing chronic hamstring issues, Mitchell recovering from a soleus strain, and Sorber sidelined for the entire season following an ACL tear. Williams has spent the offseason training with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s personal trainer to address his health. Mitchell has returned to the gym after completing rehab in July, and Sorber was cleared to return to action in August following a June procedure. The team seeks to avoid the injury setbacks that impacted their 2026 Western Conference Finals run.
