The Thunder currently have five players under health and safety protocols: Darius Bazley, Tre Mann, Aleksej Pokusevski, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Josh Giddey. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault is also in the protocols. Derrick Favors was recently removed from health and safety protocols.
Hoard joins Rob Edwards, Scotty Hopson and Olivier Sarr as the team’s replacement players. All four were on the Oklahoma City Blue roster.
Hoard appeared in 19 games last season with the Thunder, where he averaged 6.1 points and 3.4 rebounds in 17 minutes a game.
