The Oklahoma City Thunder are reportedly making a move to bolster their roster by targeting Denver Nuggets forward Spencer Jones. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Thunder have extended a two-year offer sheet worth $12 million to Jones, who is a restricted free agent.

His performance extended into the playoffs, where his scoring increased to 6.5 points per game, notably hitting 69.2% of his three-point attempts.
