What happened: Former Oklahoma City forward Serge Ibaka attended the Thunder's home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday. The franchise welcomed Ibaka back during the contest, with Oklahoma City leading 60-44.

Why it matters: Ibaka was a core piece of Oklahoma City's playoff contending teams during his seven-season run with the organization from 2009 to 2016. His departure also shaped the franchise's current foundation, as Oklahoma City's 2016 Ibaka trade eventually developed into the package that landed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

What to watch: The Thunder continue their home matchup against Cleveland as they look to maintain their 60-44 advantage.
