The Oklahoma City Thunder has signed guard Lindy Waters III to a multi-year contract.
Per the Oklahoman, “the move fills one of the open roster spots created by Thursday’s trade, in which OKC acquired forward Gordon Hayward from the Charlotte Hornets for three players (Tre Mann, Davis Bertans, Vasilije Micic) and two second-round draft picks.”
Waters III has appeared in 87 career games (one start) with the Thunder and averaged 5.4 points and 1.9 rebounds while shooting 36.8% from three-point range. Signed to a Two-Way contract on Aug. 18, 2023, he has seen action in 21 games with the Thunder this season and averaged 2.8 points and 1.0 rebound in 7.3 minutes per game. In six games (all starts) this season with the Oklahoma City Blue, he has posted averages of 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.83 steals in 33.3 minutes per game.
