Reports: Ex-Terp Dez Wells to get chance with Oklahoma City Thunder

Dez Wells will be in training camp with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, according to media reports.

Wells' agent, Lance Young, told CSNwashington.com on Friday that his client signed a "make-good" contract with the Thunder. If he doesn't make the NBA team, the Thunder could send him to the NBA Developmental League.

Oklahoma City has NBA All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook and a new coach in Billy Donovan, the former Florida coach. The Thunder went 45-37 last season and failed to make the playoffs as Durant missed much of last season because of injury.

Wells, the former Maryland star, suffered a dislocated right thumb at a summer league team practice with the Washington Wizards in early July.
