OKC Thunder guarantees Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s 2023-24 salary

The Oklahoma City Thunder made a pair of roster moves late on the first day of free agency. The first was trading for Victor Oladipo and draft compensation from the Miami Heat. The second involved guaranteeing a 2023-24 salary.

The Thunder guaranteed forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s $1.9 million salary for the 2023-24 season at 11 p.m. CT on Friday, June 30. OKC had until then to release him without eating his salary.

The decision comes a day after the Thunder declined guard Lindy Waters III’s $1.9 million team option on June 29.

Although his salary is now guaranteed, that doesn’t necessarily mean his roster spot is safe. Robinson-Earl enters his third season fighting for a roster and rotation spot. In 43 games last season, he averaged 6.8 points on 44.4% shooting and 4.2 rebounds. He also shot 33.3% from 3 on 2.6 attempts.

The Thunder drafted Robinson-Earl in the second round (32nd) of the 2021 NBA draft.
