Thunder's Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Draws start Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl is starting Sunday against the Grizzlies, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Robinson-Earl totaled just six minutes of playing time over the Thunder's last five games, but he'll draw the start for the shorthanded club Sunday since the team is locked into its seed in the Play-In Tournament. He started 19 matchups earlier this year and averaged 8.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in 23.1 minutes per game.
Thunder's Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Shows signs of life with 14 points
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl racked up 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Friday's 116-111 loss to the Lakers.
Robinson-Earl had been a non-factor for OKC of late, as he entered Friday having played in just three of the team's previous seven games and averaging a meager 1.3 points and 3.0 rebounds over 8.3 minutes during that stretch. The Villanova product made his presence known against Los Angeles, however, tallying his highest point total since early December on the strength of an efficient 5-for-6 shooting line. The Thunder are clawing to remain in the Western Conference playoff picture, so Robinson-Earl may not see this level of playing time moving forward despite his strong effort Friday.

Thunder's Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Held scoreless in return
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl (ankle) recorded zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals in 18 minutes during Monday's 103-100 loss to New Orleans.
Playing in an NBA game for the first time since Dec. 12, Robinson-Earl saw a decent-sized share of the minutes at center, but he struggled to produce a useful line during his time on the court. The second-year big man should be a regular part of head coach Mark Daigneault's rotation, but given the volatile nature in which the Thunder deploy their frontcourt players, Robinson-Earl's minutes could vary wildly from game to game.

Thunder's Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Back with NBA team Monday
Rotowire
The Thunder recalled Robinson-Earl (ankle) from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue ahead of Monday's game against the Pelicans, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
Robinson-Earl looks set to make his first appearance for the Thunder since Dec. 12, after he had been sidelined for an extended period with a right ankle sprain. Due to his lengthy layoff, the Thunder had the second-year center make three tune-up appearances in the G League before bringing him back. Robinson-Earl looked healthy enough in those outings, averaging 18.3 points (on 68.8 percent shooting from the field), 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.0 minutes. Though Robinson-Earl should be a regular member of the Thunder frontcourt rotation now that he's healthy again, head coach Mark Daigneault's usage of his centers has been highly volatile all season, so the big man's minutes could vary wildly from game to game.

Rotowire
The Thunder recalled Robinson-Earl (ankle) to the NBA club from the G League's Oklahoma City Blue, but he's been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Robinson-Earl was sent to the G League on Tuesday as part of his rehab process from an ankle injury that's sidelined him since Dec. 12. He played 32 minutes for the Blue on Tuesday and totaled 25 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one block, but he won't be available the following day in order to prevent any potential setbacks.

Rotowire

As expected, Robinson-Earl will head to the G League as part of his rehab process and should make an appearance for the Blue this week. If all things go well, the second-year big man will likely be back in the mix at the NBA level before long. Prior to his lengthy absence due to an ankle injury, Robinson-Earl averaged 8.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 21.1 minutes per game.
Coach Mark Daigneault said Monday that Robinson-Earl (ankle) "is close" to returning and will play with the Thunder's G League affiliate as part of his rehab process, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.

Robinson-Earl (ankle) is out Sunday against the Nuggets.

Thunder's Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Not yet in day-to-day phase
Rotowire
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said Tuesday that Robinson-Earl has resumed traveling with the team but isn't yet considered day-to-day as he works his way back from a right ankle sprain, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
Daigneault declined to offer a concrete timeline for Robinson-Earl, but the second-year big man looks as though he can safely be ruled out for another week. While Robinson-Earl is sidelined along with Chet Holmgren (foot) and Aleksej Pokusevski (lower leg), the Thunder have been leaning on a committee of Mike Muscala, Eugene Omoruyi, Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams to fill minutes at center.
