The NBA has gifted the OKC Thunder with the ultimate way to exact revenge against their disgraced former franchise cornerstone, Kevin Durant.
On Friday, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania revealed the opening night slate for the 2025-26 regular season, and, hilariously enough, Durant's newest club, the Houston Rockets, will be playing out in Oklahoma City.
Not only is the return of their ex-centerpiece an entertaining premise on its own, as his visits back to the Sooner State have always been must-watch events ever since his departure from the organization back in 2016, but this specific "homecoming" will directly coincide with their ring ceremony and the raising of the championship banner into the rafters out at Paycom Center.
