Both teams confirm the assets
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings announced on November 8 that Nique Clifford had been traded to Oklahoma City. Sacramento receives a 2028 second-round pick originating with Utah and a 2030 second-round pick originating with Minnesota.
The Kings explicitly described both picks as unprotected. Thunder general manager Sam Presti also announced that Oklahoma City had waived guard/forward Dalen Terry in a related move. The two announcements establish the player’s destination and the years, origins and protection status of the draft assets.
The career totals behind the announcement
Clifford was selected 24th in the 2025 NBA Draft before Sacramento acquired his draft rights. According to the Thunder, he has played 83 NBA regular-season games, including 28 starts, averaging 7.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.3 minutes. Those are career averages, rather than figures for this season alone.
In his final collegiate season at Colorado State, the guard/forward averaged 18.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists.
