Thunder Agree to Two-Way Deal With Micah Peavy
The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a two-way deal with Micah Peavy, a 6-foot-7 guard-forward.
Peavy was drafted 40th by the New Orleans Pelicans in 2025 and played 61 games for them last season.
He averaged 4.3 points a game as a rookie, while his college record included scoring, passing and defensive contributions.
The Thunder have three players in their two-way spots, including Otega Oweh, who tore his Achilles in preseason.
The team has not said how it will make room for Peavy, or whether a current player will leave.
Peavy gives Oklahoma City another wing option, a position the team has few players to fill.
The Thunder are 2-0 and next play the LA Clippers on Sunday in Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a two-way contract with Micah Peavy, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Peavy reportedly chose Oklahoma City over Toronto, which had also offered him a two-way contract.
The 2025 second-round pick was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies earlier in the week and went unclaimed.
He played 61 games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season, averaging 4.3 points per game.
The Thunder already had three two-way players, and the reports did not say which roster move would make room for Peavy.
