Thunder sign Dariq Whitehead
October 17th, 2025Whitehead, who was waived by the Nets earlier this week, will now get a fresh opportunity with OKC. His contract with the team is a non-guaranteed training camp deal. It's likely he'll end up with the OKC Blue in the G League to start the 2025-26 season, but the Thunder also have an open two-way spot he could earn. This is an ideal landing spot for the young Whitehead, as OKC is elite at developing hidden gems.
