Jeremiah Robinson-Earl’s return to the court took a positive step on Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder announced Robinson-Earl will be assigned to the G League’s OKC Blue as he plays his first real action since spraining his ankle on Dec. 15.
Before Monday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault revealed Robinson-Earl was getting closer to returning and that a G League assignment will be a step in that process.
In 26 games before the injury, Robinson-Earl averaged 8.5 points and five rebounds. Robinson-Earl is shooting 38.2% from 3 on 2.9 attempts.
