Nerlens Noel rejects player option for 2019-20 season with OKC Thunder

Nerlens Noel, who had a good year as the backup big man for the OKC Thunder in 2018-19, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason after declining his player option that would have only been worth 1.9 million dollars.

Noel and the OKC Thunder could still agree to terms during the course of the offseason, but the solid big man will still have plenty of teams around the league pursuing the 25-year-old man in the middle.

Thunder center Nerlens Noel will not pick up his $1.9M player option for 2019-20 season and will be a free agent, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
