Good morning, Norman.

Oklahoma is drought free after nearly six years as heavy rains in November, April, and May filled lakes and improved soil moisture, according to state climatologist Gary McManus and NWS meteorologist Phil Ware.

Experts say flash droughts and below-average rain this summer may hurt winter wheat crops—local farmers should remain cautious.

Thunder rookie Ajay Mitchell, who had surgery for a turf toe, played 4 minutes in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday as the team lost 111-110, recording 3 rebounds and a key pass.

Mitchell said he is staying ready for his team—everyone must be prepared to step up when needed.

OU athletic director Joe Castiglione confirmed the department will share the maximum allowable revenue with athletes after Judge Claudia Wilken approved the House settlement last Friday night—this will allow revenue sharing to begin on July 1 and include added scholarships.

After a tough Game 1 loss to the Indiana Pacers, the OKC Thunder will face a challenging NBA Finals Game 2 with coach Rick Carlisle expected to adjust the game plan & focus on improvements in defense, offense, and rebounding.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said after the Thunder’s 111 to 110 loss to the Pacers on June 7 that he will use his instincts to guide his shots and passes in today’s Game 2 Finals match.

He said the team learns from each loss—working together to improve for the next game.
