The Mad Ants waived Thabeet on Thursday.

Hakeem Thabeet is hoping to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder next season.
Thabeet has a $1.25 million team option for next season and should have his option picked up as long as the Thunder don't find themselves in salary cap trouble. The Number 2 overall pick of the 2009 saw his minutes dip to 8.3 per game this season, but would still like to return to the team who gave him a chance. "That's the goal," Thabeet said of coming back. "I don't know anything else. I haven't heard anything else. I'm going to be here over the summer working out. That's really all I can say about that situation." We'll update this situation as soon as more information is available, but 27-year-old doesn't hold much fantasy value heading into the 2014-15 season.
Hasheem Thabeet returned to action on Friday March 28.
Hasheem Thabeet (personal reasons) has returned to the Thunder.
It is unclear why Thabeet was away from the team, but his return shouldn't have fantasy owners all excited. Thabeet has scored 25 total points during the entire 2013-14 season and hasn't fared much better in the rebounding category with just 35 boards. Despite his status as a former Top 5 draft pick, Thabeet is better off left unowned in every fantasy league.
