The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly completed a trade to acquire forward Nique Clifford from the Sacramento Kings, according to Yahoo Sports. The move comes as Oklahoma City deals with a wave of injuries that have thinned their frontcourt rotation.
Clifford, who has seen limited action with Sacramento this season, provides the Thunder with additional wing depth and defensive versatility. The 24-year-old played collegiately at Colorado State before going undrafted in 2024, later earning a two-way contract with the Kings.
Oklahoma City has been without several key contributors in recent weeks, prompting general manager Sam Presti to explore the trade market for immediate reinforcement. Details of the compensation sent to Sacramento were not immediately disclosed.
The Thunder enter the week sitting near the top of the Western Conference standings and view Clifford as a low-risk addition who can contribute minutes right away while the team awaits the return of injured starters.
