Oklahoma City is the center of the basketball universe on Sunday. The 20th Game 7 in NBA Finals history is set to take place in Bricktown between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers, two teams hungry for the its first championship in team history.

The Thunder had to battle through plenty of adversity in the regular season with injuries to Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, Jalen Williams, Alex Caruso, Jaylin Williams, Kenrich Williams and others bouncing in and out of the rotation while still rattling off 68 wins. However, Oklahoma City has made it to Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals without missing a player in the postseason due to injury outside of redshirt rookie Nikola Topic.

Both teams nearly turn in a bill of perfect health, as Jarace Walker is the only participant in street clothes with a non season-ending injury. Tyrese Haliburton has nursed a calf injury this series, still being tabbed as questionable, but said at Saturday's practice he is good to go for Sunday's Game 7.

These two teams are healthy with its top of the line rotation and get to battle it out for 48 minutes for the right to a title.
