The Oklahoma City Thunder have announced that they are converting two-way guard Ajay Mitchell’s contract into a two-year, $6 million deal, according to NBA insider Shams Charania.
Mitchell, the No. 38 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has been a key contributor for the Thunder this season. In just 16.5 minutes per game, the 22-year-old is averaging 6.4 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
The Thunder, currently leading the Western Conference with a 40-9 record, have seen Mitchell play a vital rotation role. His performances have quickly earned him a full NBA contract.
The Thunder’s decision to secure Mitchell long-term highlights their commitment to building a strong and deep roster. His combination of scoring and playmaking provides the team with valuable flexibility as they pursue a championship run.
