The Oklahoma City Thunder have exercised the team option on guard Jared McCain's contract for the 2027-28 season, according to a report from OKC Thunder Wire.
The decision keeps McCain, who wears No. 3, under team control for an additional year. The 2026 first-round pick appeared in a game against the Phoenix Suns at Paycom Center on Oct. 26, 2026, where he was photographed laughing after a play during the second half.
Thunder Wire's Clemente Almanza reported the move on Nov. 2, 2026. The option pickup is a standard procedural step for a player on a rookie-scale contract, securing the Thunder's rights to McCain through the 2027-28 campaign.
