Thunder’s PT Exit and New Performance Era | Oklahoma City Thunder News
Description
The Oklahoma City Thunder just made a major move behind the scenes — longtime physical therapist and athletic trainer Dr. Tobi Owotomo is out, wrapping up her two-season tenure after June 2026. Her presence was vital during a season plagued by injuries, as she was courtside managing player health and rehab. Before joining the Thunder, she led their G League affiliate and brings elite credentials including a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and Board Certification in Sports Clinical Specialist. With her departure, the Thunder are turning to Maral Javadifar, newly appointed Athletic Performance Director with NFL experience, who’s already working with key players on conditioning. The team’s leadership shift signals a renewed focus on player readiness — and fans will be watching closely to see how this new approach impacts their on-court performance next season.
