Thunder send rookie PG Reggie Jackson to D-League

Posted March 24, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Reggie Jackson,  Sam Presti,  Eric Maynor,  Derek Fisher
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder have assigned rookie point guard Reggie Jackson to their NBA Development League affiliate in Tulsa. General manager Sam Presti announced that Jackson would join the 66ers in time for their game against the Iowa Energy on Saturday night. Jackson spent the past two months as Oklahoma City's backup point guard after Eric Maynor sustained a season-ending knee injury, but his role was significantly reduced after the Thunder signed veteran Derek Fisher this week. It's the first D-League assignment for Jackson, the 24th pick last year.

How The Derek Fisher Signing Is Going To Swing The West

Via Shooting Bricks  |  March 24, 2012
What, more than anything else is the knock on the most talented team in the Western Conference? A lack of experience, and the inability to play four strong quarters.

Wolves can't withstand Durant, Westbrook

When Kevin Love hit a game-tying three-pointer with a second left in regulation, Kevin Durant smiled.

But Durant is a competitor, and this was a challenge. It was as if he knew what was to come, that he and his team...
