Mike Muscala: Breaking News

Plans to retire

Muscala told The Oklahoman on Saturday that he plans to retire this offseason, Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports. The veteran big man played for several teams in his 11-year career, during which he averaged 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists while shooting 45.1 percent from the field. Muscala's longest stint was five years in Atlanta, where he started his career in 2013. In that five-year span, the 33-year-old averaged 5.2 points and 3.1 rebounds, and he also shot above 50.0 percent from the field in three of his five seasons there.

Joining Oklahoma City

Muscala plans to sign with the Thunder after clearing waivers Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Muscala will join his third NBA team this season after agreeing to a contract buyout with the Pistons on Tuesday. The veteran big man last played for the Thunder in 2022-23, averaging 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 14.5 minutes across 43 appearances. Muscala will likely compete for depth minutes as a backup center behind Chet Holmgren.

Muscala is averaging 3.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.8 minutes across his 37 appearances this season, including 13 with the Pistons.
