Thunder Training Camp: Day 1

The Oklahoma City Thunder began their first day of open U.S. Cellular Thunder Training Camp yesterday, Tuesday, September 29 under the direction of new head coach, Billy Donovan.

Donovan is implementing a new offensive and defensive system that will take some getting used to by the many returning Thunder players.

“Good first day. Guys are excited. Working to establish our identity.”

-Coach Billy Donovan

F Kevin Durant was able to participate in all drills and felt just fine. His only concern is improving his conditioning. When asked about how he felt the first day of training camp went, Durant responded, “It felt great. Everyone was focused and locked in on what coach wants us to do.”

“I’m the same player I was.”
