On Aug. 10, forward Patrick Patterson had arthroscopic surgery to fix an issue with his left knee. The Oklahoma City Thunder gave a four-to-six week timeline for Patterson's first evaluation and with training camp opening in six days, Patterson said the knee is feeling better and won't rush back until he's fully fit.
"Hopefully next week I'll be right there with the team," Patterson told The Oklahoman. "But my main focus is to be 100 percent by the time the regular season rolls around."
The Thunder signed Patterson to a three-year, $16.
