The Oklahoma City Thunder acquire sophomore guard Nique Clifford from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for two second-round picks, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Sunday.

The Thunder are already facing long-term injuries to starters such as Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Chet Holmgren. They receive Clifford – the No. 24 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft – as he’s fallen out of the Kings’ rotation.

Clifford appeared in 75 games with the Kings, where he averaged 8.6 ppg while shooting 41.8% from the field.
