Oklahoma City Thunder Signs Javonte Cooke

The Oklahoma City Thunder have signed forward Alex Reese and guard Javonte Cooke to Exhibit 10 contracts as they prepare for the upcoming NBA season. Reese, who had a brief hiatus from basketball and played in Luxembourg and the G League, averaged 11.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in the G League last season. Similarly, Cooke, who played for the Iowa Wolves, had impressive G League stats, averaging 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists.
