Thunder waive Buddy Boeheim, three other camp invitees

The Thunder have waived Buddy Boeheim, Nate Johnson, Lamar Wilkerson and Christoph Tilly, the team announced Saturday. All four were on Exhibit 10 training camp deals and are eligible for bonuses worth up to $91K if they spend at least 60 days with the Oklahoma City Blue, the team’s G League affiliate.

Boeheim, 26, has made 24 NBA regular season appearances across three seasons. He played 18 games for the Blue last season, averaging 15.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 33.3 minutes per game, and was signed earlier Saturday after the Thunder waived Dariq Whitehead.

Johnson (Kansas State), Wilkerson (Indiana) and Tilly (Ohio State) all went undrafted in 2026. Oklahoma City completed its agreements with Johnson and Wilkerson on Friday evening, while the German big man Tilly spent all of training camp and the preseason with the Thunder.

Oklahoma City now has 17 players under contract, including three on two-way deals, and appears likely to open the season with 14 on standard contracts to maintain flexibility below the second apron and save money toward its projected luxury tax payment.
