The Oklahoma City Thunder team were stunned after their team plane was damaged mid-air after reportedly striking a 'bird'.

The Thunder team were on the Boeing 757-200 when it was hit by an object during the flight, leaving a large crater in the nose of the jet.

Victoria Wolf, a Delta Airlines spokesperson, has said: "Delta flight 8935, operating from Minneapolis to Chicago-Midway as a charter flight for the Oklahoma City Thunder, likely encountered a bird while on descent into Chicago.

"The aircraft, a Boeing 757-200, landed safely without incident; customers have since deplaned and maintenance is evaluating. Safety is Delta's top priority."

New Zealand international Steven Adams posted a picture on Twitter of the plane, saying: "We had a rough flight to say the least."

Adam also tweeted the picture to Nasa, American TV scientist Bill Nye and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, asking them to solve the mystery of what could have caused the damage.



His co-player, Josh Huestis, also posted a picture of the
plane, saying: "I guess we hit something? 30,000 feet....."
