Thunder release statement on 'tragic reality of racial injustice in America'

The Thunder released a statement Monday, one week after George Floyd was killed while in police custody in Minneapolis.

Floyd's death has been followed by days of protests, including ones in Oklahoma City.

Thunder statement:

"The tragic reality of racial injustice in America needs to remain at the forefront of the national dialogue, with the recent death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, along with countless other examples of inequality, hate and racism. The Thunder commends those who led by example during peaceful protests in Oklahoma City and Tulsa over the weekend, as they are using their voices to demand change that we all know is imperative.
