What a few days the OKC Thunder have had. With Terrance Ferguson out with a hip complaint, they then had to suspend Deonte Burton for a game due to a locker room altercation per Erik Horne. This meant they called up Luguentz Dort for his first NBA action of the season.
Dort responded like the hungry rookie that he is and defended at a high level; including that defensive play which helped the miracle pass eventuate to force overtime against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
From an outside point of view, it looks like the OKC Thunder staff prefer the attitude of Dort to Burton, hence they assigned Burton to the G-League.
