The shelving of rookie big Thomas Sorber for the entirety of 2025-26 as a result of a torn ACL is something that certainly has left the OKC Thunder organization rather saddened.
GM Sam Presti even went as far as to say he's "super disappointed" about the situation as a whole, specifically noting that "he was playing great" in practice through the time of injury and that he was already "playing five on five and was anxiously waiting for the rest of the team to show up."
Of course, amid his heartfelt assessment of Sorber's crushing knee ailment, Presti would go on to put a positive spin on the entire situation, specifically suggesting how the closing of the door for their first round pick's campaign simultaneously opens another for last season's undrafted free agent find.
