  "account": "The Oklahoma City Thunder are facing a challenging start to the season due to injuries to key players Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace. Following these setbacks, the team added depth by signing former first-round pick Dalen Terry. However, just a week after signing Terry, the Thunder are reportedly considering waiving him in order to make room for newly acquired Nique Clifford from the Sacramento Kings. Terry, who entered his fifth NBA season, is on a non-guaranteed deal and could potentially be waived for Clifford to take his roster spot. The Thunder are making moves to bolster their roster in the face of adversity, but Terry may now need to consider his next steps if waived by the team.",
  "summary": "The Oklahoma City Thunder completed a trade on Sunday and will now have to make a roster move. The expectation is that they will waive a former first-rounder that they just signed less than a week ago.",
