The NBA playoffs officially kick off Saturday as 16 teams vie for the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June. Of course, the Oklahoma City Thunder (24-58) did not make the playoffs for the second consecutive season as it worries about landing a top pick with its fourth-best and 12th-best lottery odds, but that doesn’t mean the franchise won’t be represented as several former players prepare to begin their playoff journey this weekend.
14 former Thunder players are spread across 11 different playoffs teams. Let’s take a look at which former Thunder players are on which teams now. For this list, only players who actually suited up and played a game for the Thunder are considered.
