2014–15 Oklahoma City Thunder season

The Thunder would suffer from injuries, mainly to Kevin Durant, who underwent surgery and was shut down for the rest of the season.

The Thunder missed the playoffs for the first time since 2009, resulting in Scott Brooks's firing 1 week after the conclusion of the regular season.

Durant earned MVP honors after averaging a career-high 32.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals leading the Thunder to a 59–23 record with Russell Westbrook missing most of the season playing just 46 games.

[2] The Thunder's other first-round pick was originally acquired from the Houston Rockets as a result of the James Harden trade in 2012.

[4] The Thunder ended 2014 NBA draft night with Michigan center Mitch McGary, Stanford forward Josh Huestis and Xavier guard Semaj Christon.

[5] On June 27, the Thunder traded cash considerations to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for the draft rights to Semaj Christon, the fifty-fifth pick.

[19] On October 12, 2014, Kevin Durant was diagnosed with a fractured right foot after feeling discomfort the day before and was ruled out for 6 to 8 weeks.

[26] He would play only six more games the rest of the season, having a procedure on February 22 to replace a screw that was causing soreness in his surgically repaired right foot.

[28] The team then decided to shut down Durant for the remainder of the season after determining that he would need a third surgery on his right foot.
