The Oklahoma City Thunder will debut an unprecedented third court at the Paycom Center this season. Before this, the OKC Thunder have only dawned one alternate court during a season (2021-22), a white/light grey look. Since then, the Paycom Center floor has remained unchanged during OKC Thunder games.
This season, not only will the alternate courts return, but it came back with twice the fun this year. Not only will the OKC Thunder reveal a special edition NBA In-Season Tournament court for its pool play games in November, but the Thunder will also play a handful on this new city edition hardwood.
The OKC Thunder are set to debut a second special edition court for the 2023-24 NBA season, a new mark for the franchise.
The OKC Thunder have finally announced their 2023-24 City Edition Uniforms, and they look much better than the original leaks. These kits will immediately rank among the best of the City Edition line in OKC Thunder history, a lineup that is now seven years old.
Thunder new uniforms, they will debut on the new court Friday in the In-Season tournament.

The deep Navy Blue that originally leaked out as a black uniform combo, mixed with the sunset orange and yellow combo makes for a really interesting uniform look. The team will wear Orange accessories with the uniforms.
