OKC Thunder news: Thunder sign Mamadi Diakite to third 10-day deal

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Monday that they have signed Mamadi Diakite to his third 10-day deal of the season. Diakite’s second 10-day deal expired on Sunday. This third one runs through Feb. 9, the team will then need to make a decision on whether to sign Diakite for the rest of the season or to not bring him back on the squad.

Diakite was a preseason favorite to make the NBA roster until he fractured his hip. Diakite would then spend the next three months rehabbing his injury and made a surprisingly quick return back to action. Diakite spent last season with the Milwaukee Bucks, with whom he played 14 games and averaged 3.1 points and 2.4 rebounds.

In eight games for the Thunder this season, Diakite has averaged three points and 3.3 rebounds.
