The 2014–15 Oklahoma City Thunder season is the 7th season of the franchise in Oklahoma City and the 48th in the National Basketball Association (NBA).The Thunder would suffer from injuries, mainly to Kevin Durant, who underwent surgery and was shut down for the rest of the season. Despite this, the Thunder remained in playoff contention, but a four-game losing streak at the beginning of April cost them as they finished 45–37 with the New Orleans Pelicans and were eliminated on a tie breaker. The Thunder missed the playoffs for the first time since 2009, resulting in Scott Brooks's firing 1 week after the conclusion of the regular season.
