OKC pragmatically cleared a roster spot by cutting a depth forward without major impact. Multiple reports confirm Thunder waived the two-way swingman but retained Summer League rights. The move signals Sandfort hadn't cracked rotation plans despite being drafted in 2023. Fans view this as typical roster housekeeping for a playoff-contending team managing salary. Thunder will address wing depth through trades or free agency rather than internal development.
