They added Buddy Boeheim to a two-way deal on Friday. In a corresponding move, they waived Chris Youngblood to open up a spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Boeheim has spent the last two years in OKC. He&#8217;s played in a couple of Summer League stints with them and has mostly been on the G League&#8217;s OKC Blue. He&#8217;s averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists with the Blue this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Boeheim spent two seasons with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/basketball\/nba\/teams\/detroit-pistons\/8\/\" data-autotag=\"3cf4207f-5b2d-4335-b9df-baab70e08bac\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Detroit Pistons<\/a> from 2022-24 on a two-way deal.

He&#8217;s averaged two points in 32 games this season. Two-way players may be active for up to 50 NBA games. Boeheim joins Brooks Barnhizer and Branden Carlson as the other two players.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:8|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 6, 2026, 12:00 p.m. CT The Oklahoma City Thunder have put the final touches on their post-trade&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":586773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3783],"tags":[72400,7,6,310,475,179,3966,3965,30882,72482,72404,72937,76148,72471,72444,72422,78558,72484,72445,72406,312,72403],"class_list":{"0":"post-586772","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-oklahoma-city-thunder","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-oklahoma","12":"tag-oklahoma-city","13":"tag-oklahoma-city-thunder","14":"tag-oklahomacity","15":"tag-oklahomacitythunder","16":"tag-sstssportsnbathunder","17":"tag-sstsnokc-thunder","18":"tag-tagbasketball","19":"tag-tagbranden-carlson","20":"tag-tagbuddy-boeheim","21":"tag-tagdetroit-pistons","22":"tag-tagnational-sports","23":"tag-tagnba","24":"tag-tagnba-summer-league","25":"tag-tagoklahoma-city-thunder","26":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","27":"tag-tagsports-news","28":"tag-thunder","29":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116025208130097845","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=586772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/586772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/586773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=586772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=586772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=586772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
