The back and forth continues for Justin Patton.
Two days after being recalled from the Oklahoma City Blue, Patton has been reassigned to the Thunder’s NBA G League affiliate.
The move was announced by OKC Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti Friday morning.
Patton was signed by the Thunder in August but has played only in one regular-season game for Oklahoma City. He logged six minutes in OKC’s 120-92 route of Golden State at the end of October.
The center has spent the majority of his time with the OKC Blue, where he is averaging 6.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.5 blocks, and 1.5 steals in 23.4 minutes with two starts.
Patton’s best game came in a loss against the Agua Caliente, the G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Clippers, in which he scored 10 points and grabbed six boards.
He has struggled to stay on the court, however, as fouling has been an issue. Patton has fouled out of two straight games.
The OKC Blue returns to action Saturday, November 16th when they host the Winchester Knicks.
