Muscala, who underwent season-ending ankle surgery in March, has spent the last three seasons with the Thunder, where he’s averaged 7.3 points and three rebounds while shooting 39.2% from 3 on nearly four attempts per game.
The Thunder also signed Lu Dort to a five-year, $87.5 million on the first day of free agency as well.
The 30-year-old will serve as a mentor for fellow native Minnesota player Chet Holmgren, who was drafted No. 2 overall in the 2022 NBA draft.
