The Oklahoma City Thunder are hoping to find some secrets to keeping their players healthy. Already missing superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, Perry Jones III left last night’s game against the Raptors with a knee injury.
On top of them, Anthony Morrow, Jeremy Lamb and Andre Roberson are all out with injuries. When Jones III went down yesterday, the Thunder were down to only seven healthy players that dressed and were able to play.
For the depleted Thunder, rookie first round draft pick Mitch McGary is also out for what looks to be at least another month. Luckily for them, he posts cool photos like this one to his Instagram account to stay busy.

Obviously they’re baby snakes, which he also said before letting us know his reptiles’ names. It’s pretty incredible that all three of the snakes fit on his one hand, whether you like snakes or not.
McGary might be trying to charm his snakes into helping his teammates and himself fight back from the injury bug. I’m not sure that’s exactly how it works, but it’s worth a shot in the Thunder’s case. You know it’s bad when you have to bring in a player with the hardship exception in Ish Smith.
