Sandfort Waived, Eyes on Summer League | Oklahoma City Thunder News
Description
The Oklahoma City Thunder just made a roster move by waiving Payton Sandfort — a former Iowa standout and double-shoulder surgery survivor — from their two-way roster. Despite limited NBA action (4 games, 8.8 ppg), Sandfort’s shooting ability caught eyes, and he’s now back in the fold for the 2026 NBA Summer League, where a strong showing could earn him a G League return or even a standard contract. With two two-way spots already taken by Brooks Barnhizer and Josh Dix, Otega Oweh is likely to claim the third spot — and if the Thunder love Sandfort’s upside, they’ll have to make a move before the playoffs, since two-way players can’t play postseason games.
