ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) The Magic have selected Gonzaga’s Domantas Sabonis with the 11th pick in Thursday night’s NBA draft, but Sabonis says the Magic will deal him to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a proposed trade.
Sabonis said on ESPN after he was greeted by Commissioner Adam Silver that he had been informed that he will be traded to Oklahoma City. Neither the Thunder nor the Magic confirmed the trade, which requires NBA approval.
The son of Hall of Famer Arvydas Sabonis averaged 17.6 points and 12 rebounds for Gonzaga as a 6-foot-10 power forward during his sophomore season.
The Magic are coming off a 35-47 season in which they missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season and are looking to add talent and depth.
