I doubt any free agent summer league guys will have their own NBA Merchandise yet.
Here is the OKC Thunder page where they sell jerseys. They have their draft picks, but none of the free agent guys - https://nbathundershop.com/collections/jerseys
On the other hand, many NBA teams sell jerseys and allow the buyer to put a custom name and/or number on it.
Here is the Oklahoma City Thunder page where anyone can order a custom jersey- https://nbathundershop.com/collections/custom-jerseys
You could order one and have "Leons" and the number 14 put on it for $140!
Note that we do not know what Malevy's jersey number will be, yet. There is a pretty good chance it won't be # 14, which he wore at Bradley. The team had a #14 on last year's roster (Adam Flagler), but he is not listed on this year's team as of now. And of course, there is no guarantee Malevy will make the team for the regular season.
But the summer league games start next week, so we will know soon what number Malevy will be assigned.Comment

Interesting news...
The Oklahoma City Thunder just signed free agent center Isaiah Hertenstein to a 3-year, $87 million contract. He is an NBA journeyman, who has averaged just 6.0 ppg and 5.6 rpg over his 6-year NBA career, including a career-high 7.6 ppg and 8.3 rpg last season with the Knicks.
OKC is his 6th team since he was drafted in the 2017 NBA draft (43rd overall) by the Houston Rockets. He has also played briefly for the Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and LA Clippers, and the last 2 seasons with the NY Knicks. He is projected as a backup to the Thunder's regular starting center, Chet Holmgren. - https://www.si.com/nba/thunder/news/...ks-free-agency
This signing is not likely to affect Malevy Leons' prospects, since he was a longshot to make the NBA roster.
The Thunder now have a pretty crowded roster. - https://www.oklahoman.com/story/spor...n/74286128007/

They list 18 players. Malevy Leons will wear # 17.
There is a good chance that not all the players will see action in tomorrow's game.Comment

The Oklahoma City Thunder-Philadelphia 76'ers game is starting how on ESPN.
I have not spotted Malevy Leons yet. He's not in the starting lineup.

There are a number of Thunder players who are not dressed for the game and are sitting behind the bench with yellow shirts on.
However, it looks like Malevy is dressed, and appears to be standing at the far right end of the Thunder bench.Comment

The OKC Thunder lose to the Philadelphia 76'ers 92-102. Malevy did not play in tonight's game..
The Thunder team plays again tomorrow at 8:00 pm Central against the Utah Jazz Summer League team. It is on ESPN2.
Malevy might have a better chance of playing tomorrow, since they will likely rest most of the players who played tonight.Comment

Malevy is dressed and at the far right end of the OKC Thunder bench. If the camera angle is right (he is blocked by the backboard on most camera shots), he can be seen standing at the end of the bench. Let's hope he gets a chance to get into the game tonight!Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

Malevy hits his first shot - a 3-pointer

Malevy is a little too unselfish. All the other guys are hogging the shots hoping it will help them make the NBA roster.
He just made a three on his first shot attempt. Live box score - https://www.nba.com/game/okc-vs-uta-...core#box-score
The OKC Thunder posted their roster for the Las Vegas Summer League July 12-22, and as of now, Malevy is not on that roster. - https://www.nba.com/summer-league/20...612760/thunderComment
