Overview
- Reports said the Thunder signed Micah Peavy to a two-way contract on Friday, creating an immediate need to free one of the club’s three two-way roster spots.
- Oklahoma City must waive either Brooks Barnhizer, Josh Dix, or Otega Oweh to open the slot and Oweh is widely expected to be released because he is rehabbing a season-ending Achilles rupture.
- Peavy was the No. 40 pick in the 2025 draft and appeared in 61 games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.9 rebounds in about 15 minutes per game.
- Peavy was traded to Memphis on Sept. 8 and waived on Oct. 19 after dealing with an ankle sprain in training camp, a factor cited in his release.
- Two-way deals allow Peavy to move between the NBA team and the G League affiliate, so the signing gives OKC short-term healthy wing depth and gives Peavy a chance to earn more NBA minutes while he recovers.
