The Thunder are not expected to extend a qualifying offer to 23-year-old center Tony Bradley, thereby making him an unrestricted free agent, tweets Tony Jones of The Athletic.

The 6-10 center was taken by the Jazz with the 28th pick in 2017, following his NCAA title with the UNC Tar Heels. He spent three years with Utah before being traded to the Pistons on the night of the 2020 draft and was subsequently rerouted to the Sixers. 

Bradley averaged 8.7 PPG and 6.1 RPG in 18 minutes a night for the Thunder in 22 games this season, proving himself a capable backup center.

Jones writes that Bradley is expected to have multiple suitors in unrestricted free agency.
