Josh Dix now has inside track to make Thunder roster after ugly Otega Oweh injury

Thunderous Intentions argues that Josh Dix is in strong contention to secure the Oklahoma City Thunder's final roster spot following an injury to rookie Otega Oweh. Oweh suffered what is feared to be a potential season-ending leg injury during Oklahoma City's 114-112 preseason victory over the Indiana Pacers, likely dashing his chances of claiming the team's 15th spot.

The writer highlights Dix's impressive transition from an undrafted free agent out of Creighton to a reliable contributor during Summer League and preseason action. Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault praised Dix's reliability and tested him with core rotation players against the Pacers, leading the outlet to suggest Dix could earn a standard contract conversion.
