The Oklahoma City Thunder signed Ajay Mitchell to a multi-year contract Thursday, converting the rookie guard from a two-way deal to likely fill OKC's final roster spot.

For the first time since Nov. 10, Chet Holmgren will be back in the Oklahoma City Thunder lineup when the Toronto Raptors visit Paycom Center on Friday.

As the Thunder continue their push for a deep playoff run, Holmgren’s growth and consistency will be key. If he continues to elevate his game, the Thunder could find itself not just as a playoff team, but as a legitimate championship contender for the foreseeable future.

The NBA Trade Deadline is officially here, with just a handful of hours until teams are locked into place for the remainder of the season as it relates to making deals.

Considering all that, it shouldn't be a shocker to see the Thunder make minimal moves at the NBA trade deadline. Sam Presti made a handful of roster changes, but those were on the margins. OKC will ride out with the squad that's led it to its cushy first-place lead.
