The Thunder renounced the rights to Tomislav Zubcic on Sunday, making the 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward a free agent.

In June 2015, Zubcic, 26, was acquired along with a $2.85 million trade exception by the Thunder from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Luke Ridnour and cash. The aforementioned deal helped the Thunder create roster space for Cameron Payne, who was drafted that same month in 2015.

Zubcic played 36 games for the D-League Oklahoma City Blue last season, averaging 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 19.8 minutes per game. Zubcic was fourth on the Blue in 3-pointers made (44), shooting 35.2 percent from 3. Zubcic also played five games for the Thunder in the Orlando Summer League in July, averaging 6.0 points and 2.0 rebounds.

With OKC's roster heavy with frontcourt players, Zubcic, the 56th overall pick by Toronto in the 2012 draft, was unlikely to ever join the Thunder. The renouncement of his rights gives Zubcic a shot to make another NBA team's roster in preseason camp.
