Thunder acquire Nique Clifford to strengthen wing depth

The Oklahoma City Thunder are adding Nique Clifford to their roster as they deal with injuries affecting their wing rotation.

Clifford was selected with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Sacramento originally acquired him through a trade with Oklahoma City, and the two teams have now worked together on another deal involving the young forward.

Clifford had fallen out of the Kings’ rotation, limiting his opportunities for playing time in Sacramento.

The trade gives Oklahoma City additional depth on the wings, while Sacramento receives two second-round draft picks and opens a roster spot.
