The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Friday they had waived guard TyTy Washington Jr.
The Thunder acquired Washington Jr. in a multi-player trade in July with the Atlanta Hawks along with Usman Garuba, Rudy Gay and a 2026 second-round pick.
Washington Jr. played for the Thunder late in summer league after being a last-second addition to the roster, but it appears he didn’t show enough for the team to keep him. OKC enters training camp with a roster crunch.
The 21-year-old was drafted 29th in the first round of the 2022 NBA draft. He spent his rookie season with the Houston Rockets, with whom he averaged 4.7 points and 1.5 assists in 31 games.
