The NBA summer League tournament portion kicked off Wednesday, July 11th. With eight games already in the books the OKC Thunder joined the 15 squads participating on Thursday, July 12th to complete the first round of the tournament.
OKC entered the day seeded 6th facing their opponent the 27th seeded Memphis Grizzlies. As noted in the game day preview the Grizzlies would likely have their young stud Jaren Jackson Jr. back in the lineup after he sat the past few games (more on this later).
The Summer Thunder got off to a sluggish start. The Thunder went down by 21-points at one time tonight.
