The Oklahoma City Thunder waived small forward Darius Miller, the team announced Thursday.

The team will use the newly open roster spot to sign international player Gabriel Deck, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 30-year-old Miller averaged 4.1 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in just under 11 minutes per game this season, his first with the Thunder. He previously played for the New Orleans Pelicans from 2012 to 2019.

Deck, a 6-foot-8 forward, has played for Real Madrid since 2018. In EuroLeague play this past season, he averaged 8.5 points on 48.1% shooting - including 41.2% on threes - with 3.6 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game.

The 26-year-old was a member of the Argentinian national team that captured a silver medal at the 2019 FIBA World Cup of Basketball, ranking second on the team in scoring.
