Ivory CoastOklahoma City Adds Dalen Terry to Two Year Deal After Injuries
The Oklahoma City Thunder signed swingman Dalen Terry to a two year contract after several key players suffered serious injuries.
Oklahoma City Adds Roster Depth
The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a two year contract with veteran swingman Dalen Terry. The addition comes at a time when the team is dealing with multiple major injuries across the roster.
Terry is entering his fifth season in the NBA. The 24 year old spent time with both the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers earlier in his career. During this past offseason, Terry trained with the Golden State Warriors and attended training camp with the franchise just last month.
Injury Setbacks Force Change of Plans
Oklahoma City was forced to adjust its roster plans due to significant health problems. Key players Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace are both facing potential season ending surgeries. Meanwhile, star big man Chet Holmgren is set to miss two plus months after suffering a small patellar tendon tear.
The front office had initially reached an agreement with free agent Ochai Agbaji to take the final open spot on the team. However, Holmgren's injury changed everything. The team backed out of their agreement with Agbaji on Friday to rethink how to handle their remaining open spot, ultimately leading them to sign Terry instead.
Terry's Career Background and Stats
Standing 6 foot 6, Terry gives Oklahoma City another option on the wing. He was selected 18th overall in the 2022 draft and has logged 218 games in his career, averaging 3.5 points per game over that span.
During the previous season, Terry split his time between Chicago and Philadelphia. He played in 48 total games between those two teams, putting up averages of 3.7 points and 1.8 rebounds.
