Thunder cut three players after 2026-27 preseason finale

The Oklahoma City Thunder have released Zhaire Smith, Anthony Pritchard, and Andrew Holifield following the conclusion of the 2026-27 preseason. All three were on Exhibit-10 contracts, which typically lead to roster cuts after preseason. Smith, a former first-round pick, struggled with health issues previously, while Pritchard and Holifield had G League experience. The Thunder retain G League rights for all three players, suggesting they may play for the OKC Blue in the upcoming season. Christoph Tilly is still with the Thunder, and a decision on his potential two-way contract is anticipated soon as they finalize their roster.
