The move
Andrew Holifield, 22, is off the Oklahoma City Thunder roster as of Friday, Oct. 16, according to the team's official roster. Holifield is a rookie with no NBA experience. The move follows a Friday, Oct. 16 report from HoopsRumors, "Minor Moves: Thunder, Raptors, Spurs, Kings, Mavs," which named the Thunder among several teams making minor roster moves that day. HoopsRumors did not attach a confidence rating to that report.
The money
Holifield's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a roster move by a day. Oklahoma City carries a payroll of $216.2 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, above the league's first apron. The 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. The Thunder remain in the league's most restrictive spending tier.
The fit
Holifield did not play in the NBA last season. Oklahoma City's rotation last season leaned on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (33.2 minutes, 31.1 points), Chet Holmgren (29.0 minutes, 17.1 points) and Jalen Williams (28.4 minutes, 17.1 points), with Luguentz Dort, Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell, Isaiah Hartenstein and Aaron Wiggins also regulars. The Thunder now list 21 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
