Good for Payton..congrats

I admit I never thought he would get on the floor for the talented thunder.

Has a very good chance to get a ring as a rookie, although I'm not sure if he will be on the active playoff roster and how they go about that in the NBA.

From Google AI:

Payton Sandfort is not on the Oklahoma City Thunder playoff roster. Although he signed a two-way contract with the team on March 2, 2026, players on two-way contracts are ineligible for the NBA playoffs. He concluded his time with the NBA team in the regular-season finale on April 12, 2026

Yeah, the only way it appears would be a conversion to standard contract, as I've seen before in the league.
