Thunder's Adam Flagler: Scores 25 points in preseason game
Rotowire
Flagler notched 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 35 minutes in Thursday's 117-89 preseason win over the New Zealand Breakers.
The Thunder rested most of their regulars and gave extra minutes to players with a minimal shot of making the Opening Night roster. Flagler certainly made the most of the opportunity. He led the Thunder in scoring and could've earned some extra minutes ahead of Oklahoma City's final two preseason games against Denver and Atlanta on Oct. 15 and 17, respectively.

Though he's now eligible to appear in NBA games, Flagler is still likely to see the majority of his playing time in the G Leaague.
