Forward Jaylin Williams signed a rookie contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the team. However, The Athletic previously reported it was a four-year contract worth $8.2 million.
Oklahoma City selected Williams in the second round (No. 34 overall) of the 2022 NBA Draft.
Williams helped Arkansas reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in both of his seasons. The Razorbacks lost to Duke in the West Regional title game last season.
