The Oklahoma City Thunder have secured rookie Ajay Mitchell, a guard from Belgium, with a multi-year contract, enhancing their roster depth. Mitchell, originally the 38th overall pick in the draft, had averages of 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 34 games, despite recently being sidelined due to a toe sprain. He is noted for being one of just two rookies this season to shoot over 50% from the field and 40% from three-point range.

Additionally, Branden Carlson, a 7-foot center, has been signed to a two-way contract after showing promise in limited minutes. He has made 15 appearances, with a career-high of 11 points in a previous game against Cleveland, averaging 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds per game overall.
