The Thunder waived four players on Monday: Mitch McGary, Chris Wright, Ronnie Price and Kaleb Tarczewski.

McGary is the biggest name, but not the biggest surprise, to be cut. The third-year forward averaged 4.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in 52 games the past two years.

For now, Mitch McGary is hoping to resume career in China or Europe, sources tell @TheVertical. Wherever he plays, he has issues to resolve.

Price was in a battle for the backup point guard spot with Semaj Christon. Wright and Tarczewski appeared sparingly during the preseason.

Oklahoma City’s roster now stands at 15 with the season opener set for Wednesday against Philadelphia.
