The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Tuesday that they had waived Sacha Killeya-Jones. In a corresponding move, the Thunder signed Robert Woodard II.
The news comes two days after the Thunder signed Killeya-Jones.
The 24-year-old went undrafted in the 2019. Killeya-Jones spent last season in Israel, playing for the Hapoel Gilboa Galil, with whom he averaged 18.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.15 blocks per game.
Killeya-Jones appeared in the Thunder’s first preseason game against the Denver Nuggets, playing just three minutes and collecting a block.
The Thunder likely signed the former Kentucky player to gain his G League rights and assign him to the OKC Blue when their season starts.
That is likely the case with Woodard II as well, who averaged 13.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists with multiple G League teams last season, including the Blue.
