Thunder Sign Buddy Boeheim After Waiving Payton Sandfort

The signing funnels Boeheim toward a Blue return under Exhibit 10 incentives.

Overview

  • Oklahoma City confirmed the addition of Boeheim and the corresponding waiver of Sandfort as part of its preseason roster churn.
  • Boeheim is expected to rejoin the Oklahoma City Blue as a returning-rights player on an Exhibit 10 deal that can pay up to $85,300 if he spends 60 days with the affiliate.
  • With the Blue last season, the 25-year-old averaged 12.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 40 games, hitting 37.7% on 9.2 three-point attempts per game.
  • He previously logged 20 NBA regular-season appearances for the Pistons from 2022 to 2024 on two-way contracts.
  • Sandfort is likely to enter the G League as an affiliate player, and the Thunder continue to carry 21 players on the preseason roster across 15 standard, four Exhibit 10 and two two-way contracts.
