The Oklahoma City Thunder have contacted Ish Smith, but they have not made a decision on a replacement guard.

The Thunder have also reached out to other veteran point guards, after losing Russell Westbrook due to injury. They have been with only one true point guard, Sebastian Telfair, since losing Westbrook.

The Thunder have applied for an injured player exception with the NBA to add a 16th player to the roster.

Smith signed a guaranteed deal with the Houston Rockets in the offseason but was released before this season.
