October 11th: Rookie Thomas Sorber tore his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and underwent season-ending surgery. As a result, the Thunder received an injury exception worth $2.32 million.

The value of this exception is half of the injured player's salary or the full mid-level exception (14.1 million), whichever is smaller. Sauber's salary this season is US$4.65 million, so he will receive an exception of about US$2.32 million, which the Thunder can use before March 10, local time.

Sauber is this year's No. 15 pick. He tore his ACL in a training. This is the second consecutive year that the Thunder's first-round pick was retired for the season due to the same injury.
