The Oklahoma City Thunder has signed guard Anthony Pritchard to an Exhibit-10 contract. He appeared in 39 games (29 starts) for the Oklahoma City Blue last season and averaged 11.2 points, 5.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 28.8 minutes per game. Per Thunder

Mark Daigneault announces Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Alex Caruso, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Nikola Topic and Thomas Sorber will not play tomorrow in Tulsa against the Pelicans. They will all travel.

I asked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander about the decision to play off the ball for team Canada was nothing more than "Trying to be the best player I can be" said it is no different than any other summer, he always takes an area and tries to get better."

Thunder once again blowout the Lakers, this time by more than 18 minutes (23). The first time OKC has started a postseason 7-0 in team history. Locked on Thunder on deck.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has already launched a pair of triples tonight, 0-for-2, he is 1-for-7 overall and has missed a few that he normally makes. Cason Wallace picks him up with 11 points in 6 minutes, going 4-for-4 from the floor and 3-for-3 from 3.

The only other time the Thunder started 6-0 in the Playoffs was in 2012. They saw their streak snapped against the Lakers in Game 3 in LA before beating the Purple and Gold in five games. That team would go on to lose the NBA Finals to LeBron James' Heat.
