Thunder Reportedly Back Off Ochai Agbaji Signing
The Thunder have backed off plans to sign Ochai Agbaji, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports, as the team re-evaluates its open roster spot after Chet Holmgren’s knee injury. Oklahoma City had targeted Agbaji after Jalen Williams suffered a fractured left fibula and dislocated ankle, while Cason Wallace tore his labrum. Holmgren will be re-evaluated in eight to 10 weeks after biological treatment for a small patellar tendon tear. Agbaji, who last played with the Nets after stops in Utah and Toronto, has averaged 7.2 points across 263 NBA games. The Thunder now have to decide whether they need another wing, guard depth, or frontcourt help more.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Oklahoma City adds a frontcourt player to that open roster spot before Holmgren’s eight-to-10-week re-evaluation window ends.
