The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Tuesday they had recalled third-year guard Tre Mann from the G League’s OKC Blue.
This was a quick assignment for Mann. The Thunder announced the roster move on Tuesday morning. This allowed the 22-year-old to play a G League game before the Thunder’s Wednesday game against the Houston Rockets.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said during Tuesday’s practice that being able to assign and then quickly recall Mann from the Blue is one of the main benefits of both teams playing their home games at Paycom Center.
In the Blue’s 128-113 win over the Birmingham Squadron, Mann finished with 26 points on 11-of-18 shooting, 3-of-7 from 3, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals.
Being outside of the team’s rotation, the 22-year-old has seldom received playing time with OKC this season. In six games, he’s averaged four points on 55.6% shooting and two rebounds.
