MILWAUKEE -- The Oklahoma City Thunder won't exercise the fourth-year option for the 2018-19 season on forward Josh Huestis, according to ESPN and multiple reports.

Huestis, 25, has seen sparse playing time since being drafted 29th overall by the Thunder in 2014, though he has cracked the rotation this season, appearing in all seven games so far.

Huestis was an unusual pick in the 2014 draft, becoming the NBA's first ever "domestic draft and stash" player. The Thunder selected him in the first round, which awards a guaranteed contract, but Huestis, in an agreement with the Thunder, didn't sign it, instead joining the franchise's D-League affiliate for his first season.
