Oklahoma City Thunder center Derrick Favors revealed during Tuesday’s exit interviews that he will most likely pick up his $10.2 million player option for the 2022-23 season.
Favors also said he expects to be back with the team next season but it’s important to keep in mind what a player says and what Thunder GM Sam Presti does are two completely different things. I would expect that Presti tries to offload Favors in the offseason but if it requires draft compensation, I think he would rather just keep or waive him.
