Diallo joins Thunder in time for Summer League opener
LAS VEGAS — It was late morning local time when Hamidou Diallo officially became a member of the Thunder.
Three hours later, he was in uniform for his on-court debut.
The rookie from Kentucky was part of a trade involving the Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets that couldn't be finalized until after the NBA transaction moratorium ended on Friday.
That meant he couldn't practice leading up to Oklahoma City's 88-87 loss to the Hornets in the Thunder's Summer League opener Friday at Thomas and Mack Center.
