Forward Dalen Terry, 24, joins the Oklahoma City Thunder roster, detected Wednesday, Nov. 4. A report on Oct. 16 had said the Warriors planned to waive him.

The move

Dalen Terry, a 24-year-old forward in his fifth year, joins the Oklahoma City Thunder. The move showed up on the official roster Wednesday, Nov. 4. He comes from free agency, with no roster before that. On Oct. 16, Hoops Rumors reported that the Warriors planned to waive him. That report carried 44% confidence. The roster listing does not say whether he signed or how the deal was struck, and no terms are announced.

The money

Terry's contract is not on file yet. Public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so the cap hit and years are unknown for now. The Thunder carry $214.8M across 14 contracts for 2026-27. That puts them over the first apron of $209.0M and under the second apron of $221.7M. The cap is $165.0M and the tax line is $200.4M, so the club is above the tax as well.

The fit

Terry has no NBA line this season. The Thunder's rotation is set at the top: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander averages 33.7 minutes and 30.1 points, Jalen Williams 31.6 minutes, Chet Holmgren 30.0 and Ajay Mitchell 27.6. Jared McCain, Isaiah Hartenstein, Alex Caruso and Aday Mara fill out the eight-man group, between 19.0 and 24.9 minutes. The roster now holds 18 players, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
