Never mind what was said before.

The Thunder have made a U-turn and will not sign free agent Ochai Agbaji as planned, according to Shams Charania.

Chet Holmgren’s recent injury has changed Sam Presti’s plans, and any new signing will now be aimed at finding reinforcement who can replace him.

It is worth remembering that Holmgren was recently ruled out after a small tear of the patellar tendon was confirmed, which will keep him off the court for 8 to 10 weeks of competition.

It is another major blow to the team’s future aspirations, after the serious injuries to Jalen Williams and his team-mate Cason Wallace were announced earlier.
