Every NBA locker room has its own way of enforcing rookie accountability. In Oklahoma City, that lesson apparently arrived in the form of a truck full of packing peanuts.
Thunder rookie Thomas Sorber slept through a team meeting and later found his vehicle stuffed with packing peanuts by teammates. Yes, April Fools, but also a classic locker-room tradition: a young player makes a mistake, the veterans make sure he will not forget it.
No April Fools joke here…

Sorber, the No. 15 pick in the 2025 draft out of Georgetown, is still at the beginning of his NBA learning curve. He entered the league with a strong defensive profile and interior size that made him an intriguing long-term fit for a Thunder team that values versatility and patience.
