The Oklahoma City Thunder are turning to a former Toronto Raptor amid an injury crisis.
Ochai Agbaji signed with the Western Conference club, ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Friday.
Agbaji, 26, played 40 games for the Raptors last season before being dealt alongside a second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets in February, where he played 20 more games.
Across those 62 contests last season, the 2022 first-round pick averaged 5.1 points and 2.3 rebounds per game while shooting 26.6 per cent from three-point range — a steep drop from the prior season when he connected on 39.9 per cent of three-point attempts over 64 games for the Raptors.
Agbaji spent training camp with the New York Knicks but did not make the cut for the opening-day roster.
He'll look to rediscover his shooting form alongside two-time reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in OKC, where key wings Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace were lost to long-term injuries.
Guard Alex Caruso is also expected to miss time with a sprained ankle.
Agbaji could make his Thunder debut as soon as Saturday, when the team takes on the undefeated Houston Rockets in Texas.
Oklahoma City holds a 4-1 record in the early going despite the injuries.
