The Oklahoma City Thunder have decided not to sign free agent guard Ochai Agbaji, reversing a plan announced a day earlier, according to The Oklahoman on Saturday.
ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the change, which comes after the team learned that center Chet Holmgren will miss 8-10 weeks following biological treatment for a small patellar tendon tear.
The Thunder had intended to use their final standard roster spot on Agbaji, but are now re-evaluating that position. Oklahoma City currently sits $6.9 million below the second apron with one roster spot open.
Holmgren's injury adds to a growing list: forward Jalen Williams underwent surgery Wednesday for a fractured fibula and dislocated left ankle, while guard Cason Wallace had surgery Friday for a left shoulder labral tear. Both will be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season.
