The Wizards claimed Thor off waivers from the Cavaliers on Monday. Thor had been signed to a two-way contract with Cleveland, so he'll become one of Washington three two-way players, joining Jaylen Martin and Tristan Vukcevic. The 22-year-old forward played nine games for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 3.1 points across 4.7 minutes per game. He'll likely see the bulk of his playing time with his new organization in the G League.

Lands with Washington
The Wizards claimed Thor off waivers from the Cavaliers on Monday. Thor had been signed to a two-way contract with Cleveland, so he'll become one of Washington three two-way players, joining Jaylen Martin and Tristan Vukcevic. The 22-year-old forward played nine games for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 3.1 points across 4.7 minutes per game. He'll likely see the bulk of his playing time with his new organization in the G League.
Let go by Cleveland on Sunday
The Cavaliers waived Thor on Sunday, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports. The 22-year-old was let go from his one-year deal Sunday, allowing the club to sign Nae'Qwan Tomlin to a two-way pact. Thor received the majority of his playing time with the G League's Cleveland Charge, averaging 14.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks across 31.8 minutes per game in 24 G League outings. The forward appeared in nine games for the parent club, during which he averaged 3.1 points across 4.8 minutes per contest.
Scores 22 in G League
Thor posted 22 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 110-104 G League loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. Thor scored at least 20 points for a second straight game after not reaching that mark for a month. Across 19 G League games this season, Thor has averaged 15.1 points while shooting 44.2 percent from the field and 26.9 percent from deep.
Recalled from G League on Thursday
Thor was recalled from the Cavaliers' G League affiliate and will suit up for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Thor will be available if need be Thursday, though he has only appeared in two regular-season games for the Cavaliers thus far. In the two-way forward's two outings, he accumulated 14 points, two rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 14 total minutes.
Posts season-high 12 points
Thor racked up 12 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one block and two steals in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 128-100 victory over the Pelicans. Thor made just his second appearance of the season for the Cavaliers during Wednesday's blowout win over the Pelicans. The 22-year-old forward capitalized on his extended playing time by converting all four of his field-goal attempts and posting a season-high 12 points. As a two-way player, Thor will continue to split time between the NBA and G League.
Inks two-way pact with Cleveland
The Cavaliers signed Thor to a two-way contract Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. After three years with the Hornets, Thor will join the Cavs on a two-way deal. The 21-year-old played in 63 regular-season games for Charlotte last season, during which he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds across 12.4 minutes. Thor also shot a career-high 34.6 percent from deep while averaging 1.3 attempts per game.
Set to play for South Sudan
Thor is included on South Sudan's roster for the Paris Olympics. Thor spent the past three seasons in the NBA with the Hornets but became an unrestricted free agent in late June. Over 63 appearances with Charlotte last year, he averaged 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game. He'll have a chance to compete for South Sudan in the Olympics as he continues to seek out a new deal in the NBA.
Will be unrestricted free agent
The Hornets are declining Thor's fourth-year player option on Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Thor spent the last three seasons in Charlotte. He averaged 3.2 points and rebounds in 12.4 minutes across 63 appearances (three starts) in 2023-24. The 21-year-old forward will test the open market in free agency, but it's unclear what type of attention he'll draw.
Career night vs. Cleveland
Thor notched 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 41 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 victory over the Cavaliers. Thor got his third start of the season in the Hornets' regular-season finale. He took advantage by scoring a career-high 20 points and was one rebound shy of registering the first double-double of his career. Thor finishes his third season with Charlotte averaging 3.2 points and 2.3 rebounds over 12.4 minutes per game.
