The Oklahoma City Thunder have completed a trade sending forward Trevor Ariza to the Miami Heat for forward Meyers Leonard and a 2027 second-round pick, the team announced Wednesday.
The deal also generated a trade exception for the Thunder.
Leonard will not be an active part of the Thunder moving forward and will not report to Oklahoma City, the team said in its statement announcing the deal.
Ariza, 35, delivers Miami a versatile and accomplished wing player for its Eastern Conference playoff push. Ariza hasn't played a game in a year, opting out of the Orlando restart for family considerations as a member of the Trail Blazers.
