Anthony Pritchard lands Exhibit 10 deal with Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have brought back a familiar face for training camp, signing free agent guard Anthony Pritchard to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced Tuesday. The Tulsa, Oklahoma native rejoins the organization after spending his first professional season in its developmental system.

Return to Thunder system after G League season

Pritchard went undrafted out of Central Michigan in 2025 and began his pro career with the Oklahoma City Blue, the Thunder’s G League affiliate. He appeared in 39 games for the Blue last season, carving out a steady role in the backcourt rotation.

With the Blue, Pritchard averaged 11.2 points, 5.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 28.8 minutes per game. The 6’2" point guard was efficient inside the arc, converting 52.9% of his field-goal attempts, but struggled from distance, making 10 of 41 three-point tries, and hit 52.7% of his free throws.

By bringing him back on an Exhibit 10 agreement, Oklahoma City maintains a developmental pipeline for a player who has already spent a full season in the organization. Training camp will give Pritchard another opportunity to work with the Thunder staff and compete against NBA-level guards, even if his path this year likely runs through the G League again.

How the Exhibit 10 and roster move fit together

Exhibit 10 deals are fully non-guaranteed and are often used as a mechanism to steer players toward a team’s G League affiliate. If Pritchard is waived by the Thunder and then spends at least 60 days with the Blue, the Exhibit 10 language would make him eligible for a bonus of up to $91K on top of his standard G League salary.

Earlier in the day, the Thunder waived guard Robert McCray V to create the necessary preseason roster opening. Following Pritchard’s signing, Oklahoma City is back at the 21-player maximum allowed for camp. The move underscores how the Thunder are using the Exhibit 10 slot to retain influence over the development of a guard they know well while staying within NBA roster rules.

For Pritchard, the contract provides continuity in a familiar setting and a clear incentive to return to the Blue if he does not secure a standard NBA deal. A strong showing in camp and in the G League could keep him on the radar for future call-ups or a more secure contract down the line.
