Mike Muscala is going to be honored by his alma mater.
According to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman, Muscala’s No. 31 jersey will be retired by Bucknell during halftime of their home game against American on Saturday afternoon.
Muscala played for Bucknell from 2009-13, averaging 15.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game for the Bison.
Per Mussatto, Muscala graduated as Bucknell’s all-time leading scorer, netting 2,036 points across four seasons. He also noted that Muscala is the only player in Patriot League history with 2,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds.
In the four years that Muscala spent in Lewisburg, Pa., the Bison went 92-42, twice winning Patriot League tournament championships in 2011 and 2013. Muscala was named the MVP both times.
The seventh-year veteran is in his first season in Oklahoma City.
He’s played sparingly as of late thanks to the return of Terrance Ferguson after an eight-game absence and fully healthy big men, Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel.
However, more minutes may be on the horizon as the rotation could change in the wake of Darius Bazley’s knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Boston Celtics.
He’s seen action in 35 games this season, averaging 4.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per contest.
The Thunder wrap up their four-game homestand on Tuesday night when they host the San Antonio Spurs.
