Thunder journal: Cuts looming as NBA roster deadline approaches

The Thunder ended practice on Friday with 19 players still on its roster. That number is due for a trim.

By 4 p.m. Monday, NBA teams must cut their rosters to 15 players, per league rules.

The Thunder likely will waive center Kaleb Tarczewski and forward Chris Wright to get to 17 players.

It faces more challenging decisions to drop to 15.

Guard Semaj Christon, with about $200,000 in guaranteed money, is a logical cut, though he played well in the preseason, averaging seven points and 2.4 assists in 18.
