Isaiah Joe News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Stays in OKC on four-year deal Joe agreed Monday with the Thunder on a four-year, $48 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Thunder had previously declined Joe's $2.16 million team option for 2024-25 on Saturday, but that was likely a gesture of goodwill as the organization looked to keep the sharpshooting wing in the fold on a longer-term pact. Though he projects to remain a bench player for the Thunder moving forward, Joe has proven to be one of the league's top long-range snipers even while starting in just 11 of his 151 regular-season appearances with Oklahoma City across the past two campaigns. Over that stretch, he's converted 41.2 percent of his 747 three-point attempts.

JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Thunder decline team option The Thunder declined Joe's $2.1 million team option Saturday, but the team is expected to work with the 24-year-old on a long-term deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Joe proved to be a solid contributor in his second season with the Thunder, during which he averaged 8.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 18.5 minutes. The 24-year-old also got the starting nod in the team's final two playoff games, and he is expected to return on a long-term deal that will be agreed upon when free agency opens in July. Joe has produced his two best years with OKC, and has expanded his range to the point where he averaged a career-high 41.6 percent from deep in 2023-24.

Making first playoff start Joe is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 against Dallas, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

Impact Joe replaces Josh Giddey in the first unit, a relatively unsurprising move considering Joe has played more minutes than Giddey in three straight games. Despite his starting status, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the three-point specialist to see normal starters minutes. Instead, he'll likely settle in at around 18-22 minutes.

Rejoins reserves Joe will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Joe made his first start of the season Friday against the Pacers, delivering 10 points, four boards and three assists over 32 minutes. However, he'll be replaced by Cason Wallace in the first five for Sunday's contests. Still, expect Joe to see sizeable run off the bench.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Sunday Joe (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact As expected, Joe has been upgraded from probable to available and will likely remain in the starting lineup as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps), Jalen Williams (ankle) and Gordon Hayward (leg) are all out. Over his last six games (one start), Joe has averaged 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.2 minutes per game.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Sunday Joe is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Despite dealing with an ankle injury, Joe is expected to suit up in Sunday's matchup with Charlotte. The 24-year-old guard started in the Thunder's recent outing in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's (quadriceps) absence.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 points in spot start Joe supplied 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 126-112 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Joe made his first start of the season Friday in place of Cason Wallace. Joe extended his streak of double-digit scoring to three games and has reached that mark in five of his last six appearances. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Joe could be in the starting lineup for a second straight game.

Gets starting nod Joe is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Joe will replace Cason Wallace in the starting five Friday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) out. Joe will make his first start of the season and has only played more than 30 once so far in 2023-24.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 17 points off bench Joe posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 132-126 overtime loss to the Rockets.

Impact Joe grabbed headlines Wednesday following a posterizing dunk on Jeff Green, but he did more than that, and he was actually one of the Thunder's most productive players in this loss despite coming off the bench. Joe has scored in double digits in just three of his 13 appearances this month, however, so he doesn't carry a lot of upside heading into the final weeks of the regular season.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Scores six points with two treys Joe contributed six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Joe is capable of racking up the triples when given meaningful minutes, and he could have an opportunity to do that Wednesday with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) set to be watching Wednesday's game from the sidelines. If you need a cheap source of treys, Joe could be your guy.

MARCH 9 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Held to two points Joe contributed two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 win over Houston.

Impact Joe couldn't get much going, and it didn't help his case that Josh Giddey had one of his best games in February. Joe has been fairly quiet lately, averaging 6.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes over his last four outings.

Comparing OKC Thunder Sharpshooter Isaiah Joe to NBA 3-Point Contest Participants For the second consecutive season, Oklahoma City guard Isaiah Joe has been snubbed from the NBA 3-Point Contest.

FEBRUARY 13 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Hits two triples in return Joe (sternum) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 146-111 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact After missing four games with a bruised sternum, Joe was back in action Saturday for the front end of a back-to-back set and settled into his typical role as a perimeter threat on the second unit. He doesn't appear on the Thunder's injury report for Sunday's game against the Kings, so Joe shouldn't face any restrictions for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Though he'll stick in the Thunder rotation through the All-Star break, Joe could be in jeopardy of losing his spot at some point in the second half of the season once trade-deadline pickup Gordon Hayward (calf) is available to play.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Saturday Joe (chest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Joe will return to action Saturday after missing the Thunder's last four contests with a bruised sternum. Joe is averaging 5.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 14.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Remains out for Tuesday Joe (chest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Utah, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Joe is set to miss his fourth straight contest due to a bruised sternum. His next opportunity to return will arrive Saturday in Dallas.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday, but improving Joe (sternum) will remain out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, though he was able to participate in the Thunder's morning shootaround, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Like Joe, Jalen Williams (ankle) will miss a third consecutive game Sunday, but both were involved in shootaround and could have realistic chances of returning to action Tuesday in Utah. Joe's continued absence Sunday should continue to open up a spot on the second unit for two-way player Lindy Waters, who gives the Thunder another wing who's capable of stretching the floor and keeping opposing defenses honest.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out a few games Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that he expects Joe (chest) to miss a few games, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Joe has already been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Denver due to a bruised sternum he suffered against Minnesota. Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Keyontae Johnson are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Wednesday Joe will not play Wednesday versus Denver due to a bruised sternum, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Joe was caught up in a collision and hit the deck hard during Monday's loss to Minnesota. He appears to have dodged a serious injury to his collarbone or rib region, but he will nonetheless be sidelined Wednesday. Jalen Williams (ankle) is out and Luguentz Dort (ankle) is questionable in what could be a shorthanded Thunder rotation.
