Thunder sign Justin Robinson, Jaylen Hoard to contracts

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced they signed two players to contracts on Monday afternoon.

Justin Robinson, a 6-foot-1, 23-year-old guard, was signed to a 10-day contract. He impressed in the G League bubble, averaging 15.5 points, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 40.5% from 3. He helped the Delaware Blue Coats get to the championship game, where they lost to the Lakeland Magic.

Robinson appeared in nine games for the Washington Wizards last season.

He was signed using the spot created earlier Monday when the Thunder waived forward Justin Jackson.

Hoard was signed to a two-way contract using the spot that was opened when the Thunder signed Moses Brown to a standard deal.

The 6-foot-8 forward played for the OKC Blue in the bubble this season, where he averaged 9.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22 minutes per game. He shot 49.1% from the field.

Hoard, who turned 22 on March 30, appeared in 13 games with the Portland Trail Blazers last season, his rookie year.

Both are active against the Detroit Pistons on the Monday night game, head coach Mark Daigneault said prior to the contest.

Oklahoma City announced Monday morning that they had waived forward Justin Jackson, who played 33 games for the Thunder this season.
