It's a bird... it's a plane.... it's a collision.
Kiwi basketball star Steven Adams endured an unorthodox journey home from his Oklahoma City Thunder NBA match last night, as his Delta flight was left dented after reportedly striking a bird.
The Thunder team were travelling to Chicago ahead of Saturday
night's clash with the Bulls but experienced issues with their plane.
The team's Delta Airlines carrier suffered a mid-air problem that saw the front of its nose crushed after colliding with a bird, according to sources at Delta.
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.
