Thunder Rookie Thomas Sorber Suffers Torn ACL, Will Miss Entire 2025-26 Season

Oklahoma City Thunder's 2025 first-round pick, Thomas Sorber, will miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season after suffering a torn ACL in his right knee during an offseason workout. The Thunder announced the injury on Friday, September 5, 2025. Sorber, 19, was selected 15th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft following one season at Georgetown, where he averaged 14.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in 2024-25. His debut was anticipated to involve splitting time between the Thunder and their G-League affiliate, potentially positioning him as a future replacement for Isaiah Hartenstein. This injury marks a continuation of unfortunate luck for the Thunder, as Sorber is the third recent first-round pick, following Chet Holmgren (2022) and Nikola Topić (2024), to miss his rookie season due to injury.
