The young core of the Oklahoma City Thunder becoming one of the best teams in the NBA has been the surprise of the season so far.

Now, NBA fans in Wichita will have the chance to watch a handful of their games on local television.

KSCW announced Tuesday it reached an agreement with the Thunder to broadcast the NBA team’s eight remaining Friday night games during the 2023-24 season, beginning on Jan. 26 when Oklahoma City plays at New Orleans.

The channel can be viewed locally over the air on channel 33.1, while it is also available to Cox customers on channel 5 and DIRECTV customers on channel 33.

“This is a tremendous opportunity from the NBA and Bally Sports that allows us to increase our fans’ ability to watch Friday games free and over the air this season,” said Thunder vice president of broadcasting Dan Mahoney in a statement. “How and where games are shown next season and beyond remains uncertain. For now, we’re pleased to have this opportunity to expand our reach and make these games more available to our fans across Oklahoma and the region.”

The Thunder are currently 24-11 this season with the second-best record in the Western Conference. The team features star players in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, who are all younger than 26 years old.

Here are the remaining Friday night Thunder games that Wichita fans will be able to watch:
