The reigning NBA champion OKC Thunder will not make the traditional White House visit prior to its road game against the Washington Wizards on Saturday. A team spokesperson told The Athletic that a "timing issue" prevented the visit from happening. OKC had a road game against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. “We have been in touch with the White House and we are appreciative and grateful for the communication we have had, but the timing just didn’t work out,” the Thunder said in its statement shared with The Athletic.
