OKC Thunder waive Jaden Shackelford, Jahmi’us Ramsey

After signing them earlier in the day, the Oklahoma City Thunder waived Jaden Shackelford and Jahmi’us Ramsey on Friday.

The Thunder briefly added them to their roster presumably to gain their G League rights and assign them to the OKC Blue, whose season starts on Nov. 10.

To make roster room, the Thunder waived Caleb McConnell and Adam Flager, who were signed on Thursday.

The Thunder made the same sign-and-immediately-waive moves on Hunter Maldonado and KJ Williams. Both players went undrafted after lengthy college careers and played for the Thunder in the summer league.

In Shackelford’s case, he’ll continue his G League career with the Blue. In 44 games last season, he averaged 13.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists. The 22-year-old went undrafted in 2022 and subsequently signed with the Blue.

Ramsey has played in the G League since going undrafted in 2020. Last season with the Blue, he averaged 21.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals.
