Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Back with parent club
The Thunder list Barnhizer (undisclosed) as available for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Barnhizer didn't play in either of the G League Oklahoma City Blue's final two games of the season due to an unspecified issue, but he's since rejoined the parent club. While he remains signed to a two-way contract, Barnhizer will only be available for the Thunder through the rest of the regular season. He's unlikely to see many opportunities over the final two weeks, unless Oklahoma City has already clinched the Western Conference's No. 1 seed and elects to rest several key rotation players in its final few games.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Gets garbage time minutes Wednesday
Barnhizer played the final 12 minutes of Wednesday's 121-92 win over the Nets, finishing with three rebounds.
After a stint in the G League with the Oklahoma City Blue, Barnhizer rejoined an undermanned parent club Wednesday for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Even with six players sitting out, Barnhizer wasn't included in the rotation, as all of his playing time came while Oklahoma City sat on a comfortable lead.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Enters rotation in Friday's win
Barnhizer played seven minutes off the bench in Friday's 117-116 win over the Grizzlies, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds.
After recently recovering from a left ankle sprain, Barnhizer got the chance to make his first appearance for the Thunder since Dec. 25 while Oklahoma City was without seven players due to injury. Assuming the Thunder get at least one of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Chet Holmgren (shins) or Cason Wallace (toe) back for their next game Sunday versus the Heat, Barnhizer will likely drop back out of the rotation. Barnhizer is on a two-way deal with the Thunder and could soon be assigned to the G League's Oklahoma City Blue in order to pick up more extended minutes.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Sits out in coach's decision
Barnhizer (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 129-125 overtime win over the Jazz.
The two-way player had most recently missed four consecutive games in the G League due to a left ankle sprain, but he was deemed healthy enough to rejoin the Thunder ahead of Wednesday's contest. Even though Oklahoma City had just 12 players available against Utah, Barnhizer and fellow two-way player Chris Youngblood didn't end up seeing any run while head coach Mark Daigneault went with a 10-man rotation in the close win. Once the Thunder get another player or two back from injury, Barnhizer will likely head back to the G League in order to see regular minutes.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Muted role continues
Barnhizer provided two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist across seven minutes during Monday's 126-109 win over New Orleans.
Barnhizer continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having exceeded 15 minutes only once in the past seven games. Much of his production has come during garbage time, a common situation given the dominance Oklahoma City has displayed thus far. He should continue to hover around the backend of the rotation, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Sees 14 minutes in win
Barnhizer chipped in two points (1-2 FG) and three rebounds over 14 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime win over Indiana.
The Thunder have a number of injuries right now, allowing Barnhizer to see some run at the back end of the rotation. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Barnhizer has averaged 8.3 minutes through two games to open the regular season, and he's likely to fall completely out of the mix once the team gets some reinforcements.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Double-doubles in 28 minutes
Barnhizer notched 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two turnovers in 28 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over the Bucks.
Barnhizer got some extended run in this one with Jalen Williams (wrist), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Chet Holmgren (shoulder) unavailable, and he made the most of the opportunity. However, he'll have a limited reserve role when the regular season begins, so he can go undrafted in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Won't start Tuesday
Barnhizer won't start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Bucks, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Barnhizer will come off the bench after getting the spot start in Saturday's loss to Indiana. He tallied 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals and one assist across 38 minutes Saturday.

Barnhizer took advantage of his massive 38-minute workload Saturday, as he filled up the stat sheet. Along with recording a double-double with his points and rebounds, he also made an impact defensively with a couple of swipes.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Promoted to starting role
Barnhizer is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers.
The Thunder will be depleted for this preseason tune-up, and Barnhizer will have the chance to get an extended run to see what he can do. However, he's not expected to play a big role in the rotation in the regular season.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Leads Oklahoma City in spot start
Barnhizer recorded 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 37 minutes in Monday's 106-89 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Barnhizer got the starting nod with just nine players available in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set. The two-way player provided a game high in scoring and tied the game-best mark in rebounds. The Northwestern product is expected to spend most of his time with the Thunder's G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue, in the 2025-26 campaign.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Efficient in SL win
Barnhizer finished with 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks during Wednesday's 95-81 Summer League win against the Pelicans.
Barnhizer continues to demonstrate his ability to be an incredibly efficient scorer, shooting 66.6 percent from the floor while also crashing the glass with a team-high nine boards. The Northwestern product has now scored 17 or more points in back-to-back games while missing only six shots over that span.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Incredible efficiency in SL win
Barnhizer totaled 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six steals, five rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes in Saturday's 104-85 Summer League win over the Pacers.
Barnhizer was sharp Saturday, hitting 80 percent of his shots and racking up an impressive six steals. The No. 44 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft posted averages of 17.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36.8 minutes per game across 17 appearances for Northwestern during the 2024-25 college season.

Thunder's Brooks Barnhizer: Headed to Oklahoma City
Barnhizer was selected by the Thunder with the No. 44 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Barnhizer was held back by a broken foot during his final season at Northwestern in 2024-25, appearing in only 17 games and averaging 17.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36.8 minutes per contest. The 6-foot-5 forward boasts a strong basketball IQ and has shown an ability to fill up the stat sheet, though he doesn't provide much of a threat from the perimeter, as he converted on just 31 percent of his 274 three-point attempts during his four-year run at Northwestern. The reigning NBA champions won't be counting on Barnhizer to contribute as a rookie, with Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com relaying that the 23-year-old will sign a two-way contract.
