Dion Waiters will play for Thunder Wednesday
The Oklahoma City Thunder won't waste any time getting the Dion Waiters experiment rolling.
Waiters, who was traded to the Thunder on Monday, will suit up for his new squad when it visits the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, according to multiple sources.
He will come off the bench and wear No. 23. The Thunder reportedly declined to give him his preferred No. 13, since it's James Harden's old number. Those wounds are still too fresh, apparently.
"I’m just happy they sent me here to another great organization where I get the chance to play with another great player," Waiters said in his first meeting with the media in Oklahoma City. "I feel I’m in a win-win situation. So I take it as a positive thing. I get a chance to grow and learn from these guys."
