The Golden State Warriors are reportedly nearing a deal to acquire Kelly Oubre Jr. in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Oubre's $14.4 million salary for the 2020-21 season would be absorbed into the team's $17.2 million trade exception.
The move comes on the same day it was reported that Warriors star Klay Thompson suffered a torn right Achilles and will miss the upcoming season. Oubre was acquired by the Thunder earlier this week in the Chris Paul trade.
Oubre was a first-round pick by the Washington Wizards in 2015 and was traded to the Suns in December 2018.
