OKC Thunder news: Robert Woodard II waived, Jahmi’us Ramsey signed

The Thunder made a pair of small roster moves.

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced a pair of corresponding roster moves on Friday.

The Thunder announced they waived Robert Woodard II after appearing in the last two preseason games and signed Jahmi’us Ramsey to take his spot on the preseason roster.

Ramsey was drafted by the Sacramento Kings with the 43rd pick of the 2020 NBA draft.

Ramsey averaged 18.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 15 G League games last season that included a stint with the OKC Blue.

Much like the signing and waiving of Sacha Killeya-Jones, this is likely to gain the G League rights for Ramsey to add him onto the Blue roster when their season kicks off in November.

OKC Thunder news: Sacha Killeya-Jones waived, Robert Woodard II signed

The Thunder made a couple of minor roster moves.

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.
