WASHINGTON -- The reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder will not visit the White House during their road trip to the nation's capital this weekend, a team spokesperson said Friday.
The team and the White House had discussions about a celebration of the 2025 champs, but "timing" prevented it from happening.
"We have been in touch with the White House, and we are appreciative and grateful for the communication we have had, but the timing just didn't work out," the Thunder said in a statement.
