The Oklahoma City Thunder has signed center Olivier Sarr to a two-way contract, it was announced today, and per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.

Sarr has appeared in four games this season for the Thunder’s G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, and averaged 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.50 blocks per game.

Previously, he signed a two-way contract with the Portland Trail Blazers this past off-season, after impressing during training camp.

The 23-year-old center appeared in four preseason games for Portland, averaging 4.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 12 minutes per game.

After spraining his wrist in the preseason finale, Sarr sat out six weeks before being waived by the Blazers.

During the 2021-22 season, Sarr already played in 22 games for the Thunder and averaged 7,0 points with 4,2 rebounds in 19,1 minutes per game.

The Niort, France native played three seasons at Wake Forest where he earned the ACC’s Most Improved Player award before transferring to the University of Kentucky and going undrafted in the 2021 Draft.
