Robert McCray V is off the Oklahoma City Thunder roster as of Wednesday, Oct. 7, a change picked up from the team's official roster listing. No transaction report preceded the move, and his contract status is not on file yet.

The move

Robert McCray V, a 24-year-old rookie guard, is no longer on the Oklahoma City Thunder roster. The change was detected from the team's official roster on Wednesday, Oct. 7. No transaction report preceded it; none is logged. McCray's contract is not on file yet, and public salary data can lag a signing or a departure by a day. With him off the roster, the Thunder carry 21 players, above the standard 15-man limit, with three two-way spots filled.

The money

McCray's contract is not on file yet, so no cap hit or term is available for him; public salary data can lag by a day. The Thunder are built at $216.2 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, which puts them over the first apron. The league cap is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million. Oklahoma City's spending sits above the first threshold but below the second.

The fit

McCray has no NBA line from last season; he was a rookie with no professional production on record. The returning rotation leans on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at 33.2 minutes and 31.1 points, with Chet Holmgren (29.0 min, 17.1 pts) and Jalen Williams (28.4 min, 17.1 pts) next, followed by Luguentz Dort, Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins.
