The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2024–25 season with lofty expectations, and their early slate of games won’t lessen the intensity. After a riveting October, headlined by Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama’s first matchup of their sophomore season, OKC will open the door to an action-packed November.
With the Group Stage games tipping off and the overall landscape of the NBA settling in, the second month of NBA basketball will leave us plenty of takeaways. Here are the Thunder games in November you need to have circled on your calendar.
Vs. the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 15
This will be OKC’s first game of the Group Stage, which is set to run from the second week of November to early December. With double-digit games under its belt entering this contest, Oklahoma City will have had enough time to learn how to approach lineups to start and finish games. While it will be too soon for the team to be a polished product, it is paramount that an identity be established entering the first game in pursuit of an NBA Cup.
