Forward Malevy Leons is returning to the Oklahoma City Thunder on an Exhibit 10 deal, according to Brandon Rahbar of Daily Thunder.
The contract is a training camp invite and not a two-way deal, giving Leons another chance to compete for a spot on the Thunder’s roster or rejoin their G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue.
Leons, 25, originally joined the Thunder after going undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Though he appeared in just six NBA games during the 2024–25 season, Leons made a stronger impact with the Oklahoma City Blue in the G League.
In 34 games for the Blue, he averaged 10.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting 49.6% from the field and 35.0% from three-point range.
Leons also played in the 2025 NBA Summer League, averaging 9.8 points and 5.4 rebounds on 48.6% shooting across five games.
An Exhibit 10 contract allows Oklahoma City to convert the deal into a two-way contract before the regular season or offer bonus incentives if Leons returns to the G League.
Leons played college basketball at Bradley, where he won back-to-back MVC Defensive Player of the Year awards in 2023 and 2024.
