Thunder at 4 p.m.: Lamb sent to D-League Tulsa 66ers

Anonymous The Norman Transcript The McAlester News-Capital Fri Nov 30, 2012, 04:00 PM CST

NORMAN — When Oklahoma City traded James Harden to Houston, most fans only looked at the Thunder getting Kevin Martin and draft picks in return.

But one of the key components of the deal was getting first-round pick Jeremy Lamb also.

Lamb was not expected to help with the Thunder this year and has played sparingly thorough 15 games. That is why today the Thunder has assigned Lamb to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.

Lamb has appeared in eight games this season averaging 2.1 points in 4.3 minutes. He will join Daniel Orton and DeAndre Liggins, who were sent down last week.

Lamb will be in uniform today when the Tulsa 66ers take on the Rio Grande Valley Vipers at the SpiritBank Event Center.

OU spring football notepad
Oklahoma defensive end D.J. Ward has finally been cleared by the NCAA. The freshman participated in his first practice Tuesday.

“I’m really excited for D.J. It’s been a long process, but fortunately he’s been cleared to practice,” OU coach Bob Stoops said after Tuesday’s practice. “He has to spend two days in just helmets. So he couldn’t do much. But he did fundamental work in learning the defense.”

The two practices Ward will spend without pads come prior to OU’s annual Red/White Spring Game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Owen Field.
