On trade deadline day, the Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired ... Chet Holmgren! No, this is not a trade. But the Thunder have been without their 7-foot-1 big since he took a nasty fall and fractured his hip during a game against the Golden State Warriors on Nov.

Mitchell hasn't played a game for the Thunder since undergoing a procedure on his right big toe in January, but that didn't stop the team from securing his future by inking him to a two-year deal. Although he still needs a considerable amount of time before he can be cleared to play again for Oklahoma City,

Ajay Mitchell’s signing cleared the way for rookie center Branden Carlson, who rejoined the Thunder on a two-way deal Thursday.
