Thunder to fill two-way slot with Micah Peavy
Oklahoma City have agreed to sign free-agent wing Micah Peavy on a two-way contract, as first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania and HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. The Thunder have three two-way places, held by Otega Oweh, Brooks Barnhizer and Josh Dix, so one of the trio must be waived. Peavy, 25, was the 40th pick in 2025 and spent his rookie year in New Orleans.

O Oklahoma City se movimentou para contratar Micah Peavy, ala agente livre, em contrato two-way. O acerto foi relatado inicialmente por Shams Charania, da ESPN, e Michael Scotto, do HoopsHype.
O Thunder tem três vagas two-way, ocupadas por ora por Otega Oweh, Brooks Barnhizer e Josh Dix. Contratar Peavy significa que um dos três terá de ser dispensado.
Oweh, escolhido na segunda rodada do draft de 2026, rompeu o tendão de Aquiles na pré-temporada e não joga mais nesta temporada.
Peavy, 40ª escolha em 2025, passou a primeira temporada profissional em Nova Orleans com contrato padrão. O Pelicans o enviou a Memphis durante o verão, e o Grizzlies — apertado no limite de jogadores do elenco — o dispensou na segunda-feira.
A linha de novato dele em 61 jogos, com 15,0 minutos por noite, registrava 4,3 pontos e 1,9 rebotes, além de 1,0 assistência e 0,7 roubo. Defesa, e não pontuação, é o diferencial do jogador de 25 anos: ele teve 38,5% de aproveitamento nos arremessos de quadra, 25,9% nas bolas de três e 75,9% nos lances livres.
Antes do draft, ele passou cinco temporadas no basquete universitário — uma em Texas Tech, três em TCU e um último ano em Georgetown. Naquela última temporada, 2024/25, o ala-armador de 2,01 metros registrou 17,2 pontos, 5,8 rebotes, 3,6 assistências e 2,3 roubos por jogo, melhor taxa de roubos da Big East, em 32 partidas com 37,0 minutos.
Thomas Sorber, pivô do Thunder e ex-companheiro de Georgetown, manifestou publicamente nas redes sociais o entusiasmo com a dupla.
Uma entorse de tornozelo incomodou Peavy durante o training camp e a pré-temporada, e foi citada como uma das razões para Memphis liberá-lo.
