The OKC Thunder return home and welcome the San Antonio Spurs to the Paycom Center. The arena has already held a basketball game today as the OKC Blue dominated the Salt Lake City Stars this morning for the second straight time.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have sent Isaiah Roby, Vit Krejci, and Tre Mann down to the OKC Blue along with assigning both two-way players Aaron Wiggins and Paul Watson Jr to the NBA G-League Affiliate.
Given that the OKC Blue and OKC Thunder are both at home tonight General Manager Sam Presti, head coach Mark Daigneault, and the Oklahoma City Thunder medical staff have an interesting decision to make. It would be feasible for the organization to call back up the aforementioned NBAers for the nightcap at the Paycom Center.
On that possibility, Mark Daigneault has touched on what that would look like for the Thunder, while we may be close to getting a press release that the team has recalled Isaiah Roby, it is likely not going to result in true playing time. Rather, just a way for Roby to suit up and be part of the team and feel “connected” to the NBA squad. NBA rules force the team to recall a player before they can rejoin the bench.
OKC Thunder list Gabriel Deck as questionable
Gabriel Deck has been dealing with a heel contusion and remains questionable tonight for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The OKC Thunder just announced that each of the previously listed NBA G-Leauge assignees has been recalled for tonight’s game against the Spurs after playing a game just hours ago.
Gabriel Deck has played in three games averaging three points, nearly a rebound per game on 57-percent shooting from the floor.
