D.J. White has risen

by Ryan Corazza in Former Hoosiers | March 18th, 2009

After undergoing jaw surgery in October, D.J. White hasn’t seen one second of playing time. (Well, he didn’t appear in a game with the Thunder before that either.)

But fear not, Hoosier fans, as D.J. was cleared by doctors Monday to resume full-contact drills. White will be a member of the D-League’s Tulsa 66ers. According to Ridiculous Upside, White is joining a bit of a talented roster in Tulsa, so hopefully he finds his way into a starter’s role in an effort to make it onto the Thunder’s roster as early as next season.

Best of luck, D.J.

Did anyone watch the Clipper's highlight on ESPN this morning? Somebody threw a half court alley-oop pass to Eric Gordon, looked SWEET. Btw, clips finally won

Tulsa was led by Gary Forbes. Since I just talked about Forbes the other day (somewhere in here), we're going to focus on DJ White. White is a stud. After just being cleared to practice two days before, he played 32 minutes off the bench to contribute the only double-double for his team. He had 15 points (6-14 from the field), 10 boards, and a block. He did pick up five fouls and turn the ball over five times, but one was a sloppy pass to him that he lost out of bounds, one was an offensive foul, and three were passes he tried to make, but couldn't. I could tell he was rusty, but played with a great motor. Overall, I was impressed.

IU could put together a pretty solid D league roster.

I'm an IU alumn and I intern with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. We play the Tulsa 66ers April 5th at 6pm. This is high quality basketball to go along with great in-game entertainment; in addition to affordable ticket prices...You get all this on top of getting the chance to see one of the greatest IU basketball all time...D.J.

I was watching a Clippers - Thunder game with DJ on the bench, his face was crazy swollen, it looked like hollywood special effects. I am glad he seems to finally be healing from it.
