2019 Summer Feature Series: Nerlens Noel

Back in April, Thunder center Nerlens Noel said he was anticipating a big summer in the weight room, aiming to “come back a monster.” That sounded great to Thunder fans, but the question was whether he would be frightening opponents that dared walk into Chesapeake Energy Arena or be coming back as a foe in a different uniform.

In July all that was settled as Noel re-signed with the Thunder for another season to roam the paint and run the floor. On Sunday he found himself in the arena doing something else – shooting three-pointers. At the Rookie Season Ticket Member party, Noel played a game of knockout against a dozen kids and teenagers, all launching from the top of the key.
