Former IU basketball player Miller Kopp is trending towards another season in the NBA G League.
On Tuesday the Oklahoma City Thunder announced they’ve signed the 25-year-old to their training camp roster.
Kopp played the 2023-24 season for the Oklahoma City Blue in the NBA’s G League, and this latest deal secures the franchise’s rights to sign Kopp to another deal with the Blue. That team won the league title last season with Kopp averaging 6.3 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 31.1 percent from three.
Kopp was with the NBA franchise in July for the Summer League and played in six total games. That came right before he played for Indiana’s alumni team Assembly Ball in The Basketball Tournament.
The Texas native played three seasons at Northwestern before transferring to Indiana. He shot the ball well in his final season of college basketball for the Hoosiers in 2022-23, converting 48.1% (100-of-208) from the field, 44.4% (63-of-142) from the 3-point line, and 82.6% (19-of-23) from the free throw line.
He set a new record for the most men’s basketball games played in Big Ten history.
Kopp spent most of this past summer in Bloomington training for the upcoming season after being welcomed back by Mike Woodson. He worked out with the current team and recorded several episodes of the new podcast “Player’s Perspective.”
