[SIGNS FA DEAL ELSEWHERE] The [INSERT TEAM] have signed free-agent Luguentz Dort to a X-year, $XX-million contract, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.
Dort joins the [INSERT TEAM] after the Oklahoma City Thunder declined his $18.2-million team option for the 2026-27 season, allowing the veteran wing to explore free agency.
----------
The 27-year-old spent the last seven seasons with the Thunder after he wasn't selected in the 2019 NBA Draft out of Arizona State and signed a two-way deal with the organization.
Dort quickly established himself as a physical two-way presence and elite on-ball defender whose contributions were vital to Oklahoma City's ascension. He was named to the NBA's All-Defensive first team in 2025 and won a championship with the organization the same year.
Last season Dort averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals on 38.5% shooting across 69 regular-season games. His 26.8 minutes per games were the lowest since his rookie campaign in 2019-20.
