The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed Alex Reese to a non-guaranteed deal, per ESPN's Shams Charania. He fills in OKC's final standard roster spot as it starts the 2024-25 season without Isaiah Hartenstein for at least the first month.

The month of October has been busy for the Oklahoma City Thunder, putting on training camp and playing a five-game preseason slate. The team has shown growth and increased chemistry as the month has gone on, but the regular season starts next week and will be the true test.

Set to miss 5-6 weeks, OKC would have to reshuffle positions and promote Cason Wallace to the starting lineup. Nonetheless, it was a tight contest between the two teams before tragedy struck Thunder again. During a play in the second quarter, Jalen Williams landed awkwardly, suffering an ankle sprain. He wouldn't return.
