ANALYSIS: After exceeding expectations this year and making the postseason, Thunder head coach Billy Donovan will not be returning next year. This comes as a somewhat surprising move by both sides considering the success that Donovan had this season.

There should be a sizeable market for Donovan if he chooses to pursue another head coaching position.
