Oklahoma City will soon have a professional basketball arena rather than an arena in which professional basketball can be played.

Fresh off an NBA championship, the Thunder should remain a title contender throughout Paycom Center's final years and when the new home opens. When the new OKC arena opens, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren will still be under contract.

Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt unveiled preliminary conceptual architectural renderings of the new Oklahoma City arena where the OKC Thunder will play its games to a sold-out audience attending his annual State of the City address on Wednesday.
