In addition to the All-Star Game, the Thunder’s second year guard, Cason Wallace, will take part in the Rising Stars Challenge. This will be Wallace’s second appearance as a Rising Star, and another sign that he’s one of the brightest young players in the league.

Considering all that, it shouldn't be a shocker to see the Thunder make minimal moves at the NBA trade deadline. Sam Presti made a handful of roster changes, but those were on the margins. OKC will ride out with the squad that's led it to its cushy first-place lead.

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced they have signed Ajay Mitchell to a standard deal. He was previously on a two-way contract for the first half of the season. It's reportedly a two-year, $6 million contract.
