I think Stef/staff will find ways to delay his comeback or find new ”injuries” once he is back. They have no reason to play and my guess are tanking for high pick to turn into trade assets for next year.
Regardless what anyone thinks of him he is a cult hero in OKC not unlike Dirk/Mavs. He did so much for the franchise and community. He will get a standing ovation and a memories video. I think Russ likely asked Rox to let him play against OKC vs play the prior game. He would not want it any other way than to compete out of respect.
But once the game starts he is not a Thunder and I hope we beat them big. My alliance is with the team and he is on the opposing team. He will likely be very emotional and overtry which will help us get an early lead. But pregame, nothing but praise and adoration. Once game starts “go Thunder”.

And to make the night even more emotional the team is wearing their new City uniforms for the first time
