ESPN sources have revealed that center Mike Muscala is set to rejoin the Oklahoma City Thunder for the remainder of the season after clearing waivers. Muscala's return comes after agreeing to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons, paving the way for his reunion with the Thunder.
The 29-year-old big man previously donned the Thunder jersey from 2019 to 2023, establishing himself as a valuable contributor during his tenure. His return is expected to bolster the team's depth as they gear up for a postseason run.
Muscala's versatility as a center who can stretch the floor with his outside shooting adds another dimension to the Thunder's lineup. With his ability to knock down perimeter shots, he provides valuable spacing for the team's offense while also offering solid interior defense.
