Thor (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Thor will miss Sunday's regular-season finale due to right knee soreness, which means Tristan Vukcevic should see an increased role. Thor appeared in 11 games for the Wizards this season, averaging 3.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 18.8 minutes per contest.

Wizards' JT Thor: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Thor (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.
Thor is in jeopardy of missing Friday's contest while he deals with right knee soreness that forced him to sit after playing only four minutes during Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. If the 22-year-old forward joins Khris Middleton (knee) on the sideline, Tristan Vukcevic, Jaylen Martin and Colby Jones are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Wizards' JT Thor: Lands with Washington
Rotowire
The Wizards claimed Thor off waivers from the Cavaliers on Monday.
Thor had been signed to a two-way contract with Cleveland, so he'll become one of Washington three two-way players, joining Jaylen Martin and Tristan Vukcevic. The 22-year-old forward played nine games for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 3.1 points across 4.7 minutes per game. He'll likely see the bulk of his playing time with his new organization in the G League.

JT Thor: Cut loose by Cleveland
Rotowire
The Cavaliers waived Thor on Saturday.
Cleveland will part ways with the 22-year-old forward in order to open up a two-way contract for forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin, who had been with the Cavaliers on a 10-day deal. Thor had logged just 42 total minutes over his nine appearances with Cleveland this season and instead received the majority of his playing time with the G League's Cleveland Charge. In 24 G League outings, Thor averaged 14.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks across 31.8 minutes per game.

The Cavaliers recalled Thor from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Thursday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Rotowire
Thor racked up 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 victory over the Pelicans.
Thor made just his second appearance of the season for the Cavaliers during Wednesday's blowout win over the Pelicans. The 22-year-old forward capitalized on his extended playing time by converting all four of his field-goal attempts and posting a season-high 12 points.

The 21-year-old played in 63 regular-season games for Charlotte last season, during which he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds across 12.4 minutes.

JT Thor: Set to play for South Sudan
Rotowire
Thor is included on South Sudan's roster for the Paris Olympics.
Thor spent the past three seasons in the NBA with the Hornets but became an unrestricted free agent in late June. Over 63 appearances with Charlotte last year, he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game. He'll have a chance to compete for South Sudan in the Olympics as he continues to seek out a new deal in the NBA.
The Hornets declined their $1.99 million team option on Thor's contract Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Thor spent his first three professional seasons in Charlotte, but he never developed into a dependable rotation player after joining the club as a second-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He made 63 appearances (three starts) in 2023-24, averaging just 3.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.4 minutes while shooting 43.7 percent from the floor. The 21-year-old forward still has youth working in his favor, so it wouldn't be surprising if another organization looked to bring him aboard on a two-way deal or a non-guaranteed contract.
