Thunder donate shirts that’ll be made into masks for essential workers

Terrance Ferguson made news this past week when he teamed up with CLOSEUP 360 to interview Major Jenifer Stockton, an Oklahoma City-based pulmonary nurse practitioner who has been serving in the Air National Guard for 19 years.

As an organization, the Thunder have been doing their best to support their local community as it does its best to combat the spread of COVID-19.

On Thursday, Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy sent some love to the Oklahoma City Thunder organization for partnering with the company to turn surplus shirts into face masks for essential workers in the community. According to its Twitter profile, Devon Energy is a leading U.S. independent energy company engaged in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas.

Apparently, they’ve not gotten involved in the manufacture of textiles, as well.

Along with Ferguson, Danilo Gallinari has also been one of the team’s players that has been finding ways to bide his time as the NBA’s suspension heads into its seventh week.

As the weeks have progressed, there has been some optimism that the league could eventually resume play and complete the 2019-20 season. However, no decision is imminent.

Fortunately, the Thunder have found yet another way to positively impact the community.
