Report: OKC Thunder sign Pittsburgh's Zack Austin as UDFA
Just because the 2025 NBA draft is over, doesn't mean teams stop ringing the phones. As soon as the last pick is announced, a whole class of undrafted free agents hope to get signed by an NBA squad with summer league weeks away.
The Oklahoma City Thunder drafted Georgetown's Thomas Sorber with the No. 15 pick and Northwestern's Brooks Barnhizer with the No. 44 pick. Now, they added somebody from undrafted free agency.
The Thunder have signed Pittsburgh's Zack Austin to an Exhibit-10 deal, per Draft Express's Jon Chepkevich. He played in four college seasons from 2021-25. He spent his first two years at High Point and his last two at Pittsburgh.
Austin averaged 9.2 points on 42.4% shooting, 4.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 32 games last season. He shot 38.1% from 3 on 4.6 attempts. He was also a 90.2% free-throw shooter. He tallied 1.6 blocks and 1.1 steals. The 23-year-old is a 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward.
Austin will get a chance to play for the Thunder on their summer league squad. If he impresses enough, he could get added to their G League's OKC Blue roster. The Thunder's summer league schedule can be viewed here.

'I don't 'have to' go through this, I get to go through this,' he said, quoting a Bible verse that has helped him stay grounded. 'I'm grateful for the road that lies ahead.

Former Steeler Has Bold Take Regarding Aaron Rodgers
Former Steeler Has Bold Take Regarding Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a brand new quarterback in all-time great Aaron Rodgers. But some do not know exactly what to expect from the 41-year-old field general. Advertisement One former Steeler thinks the team could resort to drastic measures if things are not going according to plan. On a recent episode of Nightcap, franchise legend James Harrison said that the team should think about cutting Rodgers and giving some opportunities to their other guys if things are not going well around midseason. "I think they can make it work if they're winning," Harrison said, "If they start losing and it's looking like they're not gonna make above .500, I think it gets real ugly, real fast. To the point where they may just be like, 'you know what, let's let this dude go midseason. For Aaron, let's just get him outta here and put one of these other quarterbacks in.'" Rodgers had one of the more disappointing years of his career this past season with the New York Jets. As a result, some have questioned if he still has it, but his stats were not as bad as one would expect. Advertisement He still racked up 3,897 passing yards and 28 touchdowns on 63 percent completion. He did have 11 interceptions, but that was still not too bad compared to the rest of the league. Rodgers has stated that the 2025 season may very well be his last season in the league, so he will be looking to prove the doubters wrong and leave his mark with the legendary AFC North franchise.
