The Northwest division rival Oklahoma City Thunder is making a change to its roster this morning, according to sources.
The Oklahoma City Thunder has waived forward Usman Garuba, team says.
Garuba, 21, was the No. 23 overall pick by the Houston Rockets in the 2021 NBA Draft, making him one of four first-round selections drafted to the team. With so many players developing all at once and injuries making a bad situation worse, Garuba played in just 24 games in his rookie season.
This past year, Garuba was healthier, playing in 75 games, but averaging just three points per game.
