What find a little rhythm before the start of the Postseason, which he will be able to play since the Thunder gave him a real lease during his convalescence.<\/p>\n<p>In early February, his \u201cTwoway Contract\u201d was transformed into a two-year contract, with a \u201cteam option\u201d on the 2025\/26 season, which will allow it to be able to compete in the Postseason with the leader of the Western Conference.<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" id=\"box-stats\">\n<tr class=\"column\">\n<th class=\"team_name\" style=\"text-align:left; padding-left:5px;\" colspan=\"4\">Ajay Mitchell<\/th>\n<th class=\"section\" colspan=\"3\" title=\"Tirs\" style=\"border-right:1px solid #ccc\">Percentage<\/th>\n<th class=\"section\" colspan=\"3\" title=\"Rebonds\">Rebound<\/th>\n<th title=\"\" colspan=\"6\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"section_title\">\n<th scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:left; padding-left:6px;\">Saison<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Team<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">MJ<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Min<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Shots<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">3pts<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">LF<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Off<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Def<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">To<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Pd<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Fte<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Int<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Bp<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Ct<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"line_1\">\n<td class=\"title\">2024-25<\/td>\n<td class=\"title\">OKC<\/td>\n<td>34<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-right:1px solid #DDD\">17<\/td>\n<td title=\"85\/166\">50.6<\/td>\n<td title=\"20\/20\">43.1<\/td>\n<td title=\"27\/34\" style=\"border-right:1px solid #DDD\">84.8<\/td>\n<td>0.5<\/td>\n<td>1.5<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-right:1px solid #DDD\">2.0<\/td>\n<td>1.7<\/td>\n<td>1.7<\/td>\n<td>0.7<\/td>\n<td>0.8<\/td>\n<td>0.1<\/td>\n<td class=\"sort-by\" style=\"border-right:1px solid #DDD\">6.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px;line-height: 20px;color: #666;\"><strong>How to read the stats?<\/strong> MJ = matches played; Min = minutes; Shots = successful shots \/ tempted shots; 3pts = 3-point \/ 3-point attempted; LF = Successful free throws \/ tempted free throws; Off = offensive rebound; Def = defensive rebound; Tot = Total rebounds; PD = assists; FTE: Personal faults; Int = interceptions; BP = lost bullets; CT: against; Pts = points.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] He was one of the good surprises from the Thunder&#39;s start to the season.
