The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Wednesday that they have signed Branden Carlson to a second 10-day contract. This shouldn't be a shocker as the 25-year-old's first 10-day deal expired on Monday, Jan. 20.

Of course, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has led the way for the Thunder this season as he is once again a frontrunner for the MVP award, but the rest of the roster has also stepped up. Jalen Williams is playing at an All-Star level and the rest of the team has also been very productive.

Enjoying a mid-career breakthrough, Johnson is averaging 19.6 points on 49.6/42.8/89.7 shooting splits, approaching the 50/40/90 benchmark reached by just nine players in NBA history.

During his time suiting up for the Thunder, Augustin wore only jersey No. 14 and put up 5.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
