Overview
- Oklahoma City announced it waived two-way guard Chris Youngblood and signed Buddy Boeheim to the open two-way slot.
- Youngblood hit the 50-game active limit for two-way players during Wednesday's game in San Antonio, which barred further NBA activations.
- Converting Youngblood would have required a standard contract, but the Thunder's 15-man roster was full after deadline moves that included adding Jared McCain and sending out Ousmane Dieng.
- Boeheim had been playing for the G League's Oklahoma City Blue and is eligible to be active for up to 19 NBA games the rest of the season.
- The former Syracuse guard averaged 15.6 points with the Blue this season and previously appeared in 20 NBA games with Detroit, with his recent years affected by a thumb injury and surgery.
