OKC Thunder assign Ousmane Dieng, Aleksej Pokusevski, Tre Mann to G League’s OKC Blue

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Sunday that they have assigned Ousmane Dieng, Aleksej Pokusevski and Tre Mann to the G League’s OKC Blue.

The trio has had a hard time getting consistent playing time this season. Dieng has averaged 13.3 minutes in six games. Poksevski has averaged six minutes in three games, and Mann has averaged four minutes in three games.

The Blue are conducting training camp ahead of their 2023-24 season, which starts Nov. 10. Odds are, these assignments are to allow all three players to get extended practice time and reps.

At the moment, Dieng is the only one who has received somewhat consistent playing time. The franchise has more invested in him than the other two because he was a 2022 lottery pick. Pokusevski and Mann have been outside of OKC’s rotation.
