Report: Alabama's Amari Allen to have predraft workout with OKC Thunder

As the Oklahoma City Thunder hope to become back-to-back NBA champions, most of the league has shifted its attention to the upcoming offseason. The 2026 NBA playoffs are down to four teams. That means 26 others have their full attention on this year's draft cycle.

For the Thunder, they continue to enjoy the best of both worlds — contending for a Larry O'Brien trophy and doing their homework for a lottery addition. They will enter the 2026 NBA draft with three draft picks — No. 12 via the LA Clippers; No. 17 via the Philadelphia 76ers; and No. 37 via the Dallas Mavericks.

One prospect the Thunder will reportedly meet with is Alabama's Amari Allen, per Rookie Wire. He spent one collegiate season at Alabama from 2025-26. He averaged 11.4 points on 44.6% shooting, 6.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 32 games this past season. He shot 34.1% from 3 on 4.3 attempts.

The 20-year-old is a 6-foot-8, 205-pound forward. Most NBA mock drafts have him going around the lottery and middle first-round range. That gives the Thunder two chances to add him at No. 12 and No. 17, depending on how high a priority he becomes.

The 2026 NBA draft will take place from June 23-24. The Thunder will look to add more young talent to their roster to keep their contending window open as long as possible around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams.
