On Thursday, Russell Westbrook and Paul George joined numerous other NBA stars in Las Vegas for the first of three days of USA Basketball minicamp meetings and practice.
Westbrook did not speak to the media, but George did for the first time since signing a four-year contract with the Thunder in free agency.
But much of the talk outside of George’s return was about the newest Thunder player, Dennis Schroder, who was traded to Oklahoma City for Carmelo Anthony this week.
“He’s not going to start, but hands down the best backup point guard in the league,” George said.
