The OKC Blue — the Oklahoma City Thunder G League affiliate — announced a trade on Friday.
The Blue acquired Javin DeLaurier and a 2022 first-round pick from the Wisconsin Herd — the Milwaukee Bucks G League affiliate — in exchange for Rob Edwards and a 2023 second-round pick.
In 29 G League games, DeLaurier averaged 6.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists. The 24-year-old spent four years at Duke from 2016 to 2020 before going undrafted in 2020.
Edwards was a Blue veteran who averaged 12.8 points and four rebounds in 46 G League games last season.
Edwards signed a 10-day deal with the Thunder in December 2021 due to a large number of players who tested positive for COVID-19 and were in the league’s health and safety protocol. Edwards appeared in two games and totaled 11 minutes during his 10 days with the team.
The OKC Blue will play at least 47 games this season, including 15 home games that are part of a doubleheader with the Thunder.
