Traded to Thunder New Orleans traded Theis to the Thunder on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

Impact The Pelicans will also send draft compensation to the Thunder in what was essentially a salary dump -- the Pelicans were previously $1.4 million above the luxury tax and Theis had an expiring $2.1 million contract. In Oklahoma City, Theis will compete with Jaylin Williams for the backup center minutes. He'll likely make his debut Friday against the Raptors once the trade gets pushed through.

Questionable against Denver Theis (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact After missing the last two games for the Pelicans, Theis could be on track to be ruled out for a third straight game due to a right thumb sprain. The veteran big man is having a rough season in New Orleans, averaging a career-low 4.3 points per game on a career-worst 47.3 percent from the floor. If unable to play in Denver, the team could turn to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic to help shoulder the load off the bench in the frontcourt.

Won't play Monday Theis (thumb) will not play Monday against Denver.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Officially ruled out Theis (thumb) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Impact Theis has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a sprained right thumb. Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Theis' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Denver.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Friday Theis (thumb) has been listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Theis is having a less-than-stellar season in a bench role with the Pelicans. The veteran big man is averaging a career-low 4.3 points to go along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per game. From a fantasy perspective, he hasn't made a big impact during the 2024-25 campaign.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records six assists Theis logged four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 123-119 overtime victory over the Jazz.

Impact Theis matched his season-best mark of six assists as he made his second start in a row. He's been a serviceable short-term streamer for the Pelicans, but all that could come to an end once Yves Missi (shoulder) and Zion Williamson (illness) are healthy again.

JANUARY 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fills in admirably Friday Theis recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 136-123 win over the Jazz.

Impact Making his first start for the Pelicans since Nov. 25, Theis made an immediate impact in his return to the first unit with his highest scoring output of the year in a season-high 28 minutes. Having now played eight games as a starter, the veteran big man has averaged 6.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17.9 minutes as a member of New Orleans' starting lineup. With starting center Yves Missi (illness) presumably just day-to-day, Theis doesn't appear to be the most appealing cursory pickup in fantasy leagues despite Friday's outburst.
