The OKC Thunder announced Friday that it signed Brooks Barnhizer, Josh Dix and Otega Oweh to two-way contracts.

Barnhizer is the lone returning two-way player for OKC, which selected him with the No. 44 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The 6-foot-5 forward averaged 1.7 points and 2 rebounds in 8.7 minutes during his 40 appearances with the Thunder last season while shooting 38% from the field (29.2% from deep).


Dix and Oweh are incoming rookies. OKC selected Oweh with the No. 41 pick in the draft, while Dix went undrafted.

Oweh spent the first two seasons of his college career at OU before spending another two seasons at Kentucky. The 6-5 guard averaged 18.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals as a senior on 46.5% shooting from the field (33.3% from deep).

Dix spent three seasons at Iowa before transferring to Creighton for his fourth and final season. The 6-6 guard averaged 13.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists as a senior on 43.9% shooting from the field (33.8% from deep).
