Thunder recalls Deonte Burton from OKC Blue

The Thunder has recalled Deonte Burton from the Oklahoma City Blue, general manager Sam Presti announced Thursday in a release.

Burton was assigned to the G League on Dec. 7, the day after he served a one-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team."

The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 16.1 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in seven starts with the Blue.

Burton has played in 12 games this season for the Thunder.

"It's great," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said of having Burton back in the gym. "Obviously whatever it was, that situation served its time and resolved itself.
