The current NBA champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, will not attend the traditional visit to the President of the United States at the White House.
The leaders of the Western Conference have issued a statement explaining the reasons and timing issues they are facing for their visit to Washington DC. “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”, shared in The Athletic.
Championship teams usually make the traditional visit when they play against the Wizards, but the Thunder and the White House haven’t found the “perfect timing” for that to happen.
The last team to visit the White House was the Celtics, champions in 2024.
