It looks like the Oklahoma City Thunder might keep one of the four players they acquired in the eight-player Houston Rockets trade.
The Oklahoman’s Joe Mussatto reported veteran guard David Nwaba traveled with the team to Denver for Monday’s preseason game against the Denver Nuggets.
Of the four acquired from the Rockets, Nwaba was the most likely to stay on the Thunder due to his contract. Nwaba is owed $5 million this season and the Thunder are not allowed to trade him until Nov. 30.
Nwaba is entering his seventh season and averaged 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds on 48.3% shooting.
The Thunder have already moved on from veteran forward Sterling Brown; they waived him on Sunday. The other two players acquired from the Rockets are Marquese Chriss and Trey Burke.
