A person with knowledge of the details says forward Patrick Patterson has agreed to a three-year, $16.4 million (U.S.) deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Patterson is leaving Toronto to join all-star Paul George in a new-look Thunder frontcourt, the person told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person was granted anonymity because contracts can’t be signed until Thursday.
The deal was first reported by ESPN.
Patterson was a valuable reserve for the Raptors, averaging 7.6 points in nearly four seasons. But he struggled badly in last season’s playoffs, shooting 28 per cent from the field.
