Report: Oklahoma City Thunder Sign Isaiah Joe on Multi-Year Deal
According to Shams Charania, the Oklahoma City Thunder are picking up Isaiah Joe on a multi-year deal.
The signing by Oklahoma comes days after Philadelphia waived both Charles Bassey and Joe to finalize their roster ahead of the start of the upcoming season.
Joe was drafted by the Sixers in 2020, who he played 96 games for, where he averaged four points and one rebound per game.
Although the Arkansas prospect struggled to gain traction in the City of Brotherly Love, he managed to show up during the 2022-23 Summer League, averaging 15 points and two assists on 49 percent accuracy from the field.
To make room for the former Sixer, Charania reports that the Thunder are planning to waive David Nwaba.
