Thunder PR said Otega Oweh will miss all of 2026-27 after rupturing his right Achilles. Dr. Martin O’Malley operated Wednesday at HSS in New York.

Oweh planted on defense in Tuesday’s 114-112 overtime win over Indiana, collapsed and grabbed his right ankle. He needed help to the locker room.

Coach Mark Daigneault said the situation was ‘really tough’ for Oweh after the game, before the official diagnosis landed Wednesday night.

Oklahoma City took Oweh 41st in 2026 on a two-way deal. A left foot injury ended his Summer League after only two games.

Rehab and a return timetable beyond this season will come later. The Thunder open the regular season with wing depth, but without this two-way guard.
