The NBA MITCH MCGARY HEALTHY, CONTRIBUTING A broken foot has hindered Mitch McGary in his rookie year, limiting him to only eight games (six starts) with the NBDL's Oklahoma City Blue. The NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder called him up Feb. 8 after he averaged 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.88 steals in 24.3 minutes per game. He didn't waste time making an impact. McGary notched 19 points and 10 rebounds in a blowout win over the Los Angeles Clippers and drew a standing ovation for his play. "I'm a pretty energetic guy, so usu- ally the crowd gets into it," he said. "I always hear loud fans cheering when I enter the game, even when I don't score or anything like that. I ended up having a good game, and all I could do was get the crowd into it even more." He earned the respect of his team- mates, as well. "You see how much work he put in over the past month and a half, two months of recovering and getting himself back in," Russell Westbrook said. "To see him get an opportunity was very exciting." McGary followed up with 17 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes in a 124-114 win at Denver Feb. 9.
