Report: OKC Thunder add Buddy Boeheim to Exhibit-10 deal.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed Buddy Boeheim to an Exhibit-10 deal, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. He will join OKC in its summer league squad.

Boeheim went undrafted in 2022. The 24-year-old went to Syracuse for four college seasons from 2019-22. He is the son of legendary college coach Jim Boeheim, who coached the Orange from 1976-2023.

He’s spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Pistons. He was on a two-way deal and played in the G League. He’s averaged 2.5 points in 8.7 minutes throughout 20 games in his tenure.

The Thunder can get his G League rights and add him to the OKC Blue if he impresses enough during summer league. He will get a chance to get serious minutes, especially down the stretch of the multi-week event.

Mark Daigneault reveals who will coach Summer League for OKC Thunder

Mark Daigneault reveals who will coach Summer League for OKC Thunder.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are days away from embarking into summer league. They will play at least seven games spanned over two weeks in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas from July 8-19.

This will be the first time the Thunder see rookies Dillon Jones and Ajay Mitchell suit up for them. Nikola Topic will be out for the event as he recovers from a partially torn ACL. The 18-year-old will miss all of next season.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault revealed after OKC’s rookie introductory presser that the two summer leagues will have two head coaches.

Kam Woods — the G League’s OKC Blue head coach — will coach the three Utah games. Daniel Dixon — a Blue assistant — will coach the four-plus Las Vegas games.

This shouldn’t be a shocker as the Thunder have previously used the two-head coach strategy in recent years. It gives multiple coaches a taste to man the sidelines.

Other summer league news includes that Cason Wallace is unlikely to participate in this year’s event. Chet Holmgren will also be in town to be in the summer league practices for OKC.
