The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> have one more event to cross off their list before officially closing the book on the 2025-26 season. Sam Presti will conduct his end-of-season press conference on Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m. CT.<\/p>\n

Presti will talk roughly a week after the Thunder suffered a season-ending Game 7 loss to the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> in the 2026 Western Conference Finals. They finished five wins shy of completing their back-to-back NBA championship ambitions.<\/p>\n

At the end of their current roster life cycle, expect the Thunder to see some change throughout their roster. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/a>, Chet Holmgren<\/a> and Jalen Williams<\/a> are the franchise pillars, but the surrounding cast could see a change of characters.<\/p>\n

The Thunder had an NBA-best 64-18 regular-season record. Gilgeous-Alexander won back-to-back MVP awards. But constant injuries finally caught up to them. They were without Williams and Ajay Mitchell<\/a> for most of their epic series against the Spurs. They eventually succumbed to their absences with a brutal Game 7 loss.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be interesting to hear what Presti has to say about their 2025-26 season. While it was a successful year in several regards, not being able to win another NBA championship with a group that was favored to win it all year brings up mixed feelings.<\/p>\n

Presti wrapped up his 19th season as OKC’s GM. He’s been in the position since 2007. As one of the longest-tenured general managers, the Thunder have been spoiled by success by all metrics. Right now, they’re amid a championship window with a chance to add a couple of more Larry O’Brien trophies with this group.<\/p>\n
