OKC summer league
That’s Jeff Green in the Oklahoma City summer league jersey, courtesy of NBA OKC. Don’t read anything into the colors. That scheme is just temporary until the official team name and colors are announced. Yes, I know the jersey is basic black and white, but that’s the official word.
You can watch all of Oklahoma City’s games live on the Internet by going to this link.
Oklahoma City plays Indiana today at 2 p.m., Orlando on Tuesday, New Jersey on Wednesday, Michael Beasley and the Miami Heat on Thursday and Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
Green, the team’s second-year forward and No. 5 pick in last year’s draft, 2008 first-round picks Russell Westbrook and D.J. White and second-round pick DeVon Hardin are scheduled to compete this week for Oklahoma City.
The team will be referred to as Oklahoma City throughout the week in Orlando, including the league’s official box scores.
I won’t be making the trip to Orlando this week. But we’ve hired a freelancer to write all kinds of stories from Orlando, so be sure to pick up The Oklahoman and check NewsOK.com throughout the week for continuous coverage.

Hours before Judge Marsha Pechman announces her ruling in the Sonics case, the city of Seattle are negotiating a settlement of the lease dispute. Here’s my story.
Pechman will post her ruling at 6 p.m. central time. Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and other city officials are scheduled to hold a press conference at 7 p.m. central time. And Sonics Chairman Clay Bennett also is scheduled to address the media in Oklahoma City at 7 p.m. central time.
We’ll have much more throughout the day on NewsOK.com and in Thursday’s editions of The Oklahoman.
