Alex Abrines

Abrines was waived by the Thunder in February after sitting out for a month and a half due to a personal matter. After taking some time off from professional basketball, Abrines will return back to his home country of Spain to play for Barcelona during the 2019-20 campaign.

Abrines had appeared in just two of the past 22 games for the Thunder, who cut ties with the third-year guard Saturday. Once Abrines clears waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team and may be pursued due to his floor-stretching ability. In 31 appearances this year, Abrines averaged 5.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 threes in 19.0 minutes while shooting an abysmal 35.7 percent from the floor in addition to splits of 32.2 percent from three and 92.3 percent from the line.

Abrines is slated to miss his fourth straight contest due to a personal matter. His next chance to return will come Monday against Portland.

Abrines will miss his second game in a row due to the personal matter, which had previously kept him unavailable nearly all of January. There's a real possibility that Abrines' status could regularly be in limbo on a game-by-game basis for the rest of the season, so don't be surprised if the Thunder look to add another three-point specialist for the second unit prior to Thursday's trade deadline or via the buyout market.
