The Oklahoma City Thunder face a massive $250 million salary bill and a projected $200 million luxury tax, potentially swelling to $500 million after accounting for three first‑round picks (Clippers, Nuggets, Spurs). With a $7.8 million team option on Jaylin Williams and deadline‑bound decisions on guaranteeing Nikola Topic ($7.5 M) and Thomas Sorber ($5.1 M), General Manager Sam Presti must trim the roster to avoid a $60 million tax surge. Meanwhile, Shai Gilbert‑Alexander's 141‑game 20‑point streak ends, and he credits Presti’s patience during his plantar fasciitis recovery. Nuggets star Nikola Jokić also comments on Topic in a recent interview.

In the same game, Cameron Johnson exits with a right‑ankle sprain, allowing Alpha Diallo to start the second half. Rookie Trevon Brazile records 12 rebounds in 18 minutes, debuting alongside DeMar DeRozan, who embraces a bench role after stints with Toronto, San Antonio, Chicago and Sacramento. Jamal Murray also discusses his ambitions in a recent interview.
The Brooklyn Nets entered Opening Night with a disappointing performance from their highly touted 2025 draft class, the so‑called Flatbush 5. Only No. 8 pick Egor Demin and No. 19 pick Nolan Traore saw minutes, combining for just seven points on 2‑of‑14 shooting, two assists and three turnovers in 42 minutes. The other three first‑rounders didn’t play at all, raising concerns about the rebuild’s progress. Coach Jacques Fernández remains confident, citing the players’ potential and a plan to improve their decision‑making. Meanwhile, recent first‑round pick Mikel Brown Jr. (No. 6, 2026) shows promise despite a lingering ankle issue, and the Nets must decide by Nov. 2 whether to retain all five young assets.
