The Thunder have abandoned forward/middle Malevy Leonsthe team announced.

Leons, who departed Bradley in June, initially signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Oklahoma City in September. He was fired on October 19, but was re-signed on October 31, when the Thunder folded. Alex Reese.

Leons’ contract was a one-year non-guaranteed deal worth the prorated rookie minimum. OKC will carry a relatively small dead money bonus for waiving the 25-year-old, who was born in the Netherlands.

Leons appeared in five games for the Thunder, playing a total of 17 garbage minutes. He recorded two points, two rebounds and one assist in those games.

It’s unclear why exactly the Thunder decided to sign and waive both Reese and Leons so early in the season, but from an overall perspective, it doesn’t change much about their cap prospects. They are still $10 million+ under this season’s luxury tax line, which is set at $170,814,000.

The Thunder now have 14 players on standard contracts, with all three two-way spots filled.
