Thunder Send Aleksej Pokusevski To G League Bubble, Down To 11 Healthy Players 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 3, 2021 4:00 pm

The Oklahoma City Thunder have sent Aleksej Pokusevski to Orlando for the G League bubble.


Ty Jerome and two-way contract players Moses Brown and Josh Hall are also headed to Orlando with Pokusevski.


Pokusevski played 20 minutes for the Thunder on Monday in what will likely be his final NBA game for at least the next month.


Pokusevski was the 17th overall pick in November's draft.


“A player that’s got his ceiling as a playmaker but his inexperience in the NBA, it’s kind of a unique situation,” Mark Daigneault said. “He’s just trying to learn how to function. He’s trying to learn the speed of the game, the physicality of the game. It’s deep waters in the NBA for any rookie, but certainly for someone as young as him.”


The Thunder are down to 11 healthy players on their roster.
