Nique Clifford Traded to Oklahoma City Thunder for Two Draft Picks

The Sacramento Kings are trading second-year guard Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for two second-round draft picks. Clifford was originally selected 24th overall by the Thunder in the 2025 NBA Draft before being dealt to Sacramento on draft night. Oklahoma City re-acquires Clifford to address roster depth issues created by a recent spate of injuries. The transaction adds young backcourt depth to an injury-ravaged Thunder squad.
