Oklahoma City is inking forward Jaylen Hoard to a two-way contract, according to the team.
Hoard, who went undrafted out of Wake Forest in 2019, spent part of training camp with the club. The 22-year-old suited up for the Blazers last season on a two-way contract in Portland.
Hoard’s signing adds to a busy day for the Thunder. OKC waived Justin Jackson this morning before signing Justin Robinson to a 10-day deal.
