The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Thursday they had assigned Lindy Waters III to the G League’s OKC Blue.
This has been a common occurrence for Waters, who was signed to a standard deal after starting the season in a two-way roster slot. The move gives the 26-year-old a chance to get consistent playing time.
Waters is in his third season with the Thunder, mostly on two-way deals. In 36 games this season, he has averaged 3.3 points.
The Blue are in the 2024 G League Finals against the Maine Celtics. The Celtics are up 1-0 in the best-of-three series. Game 2 is on Thursday, April 11 at Paycom Center.
The 26-year-old should help the Blue’s odds of tying the series at one. He’s averaged 21.8 points on 48% shooting in 12 G League games this season.
