Strong two-way effort Saturday Simpson provided 14 points (4-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Simpson Logged at least 30 minutes for the second consecutive game, cobbling together easily his best performance of the season. While we have seen flashes from Simpson during his time in Oklahoma City, managers should not make any significant moves based on this effort. He is someone to consider, should his role continue to yield meaningful production.

Joins Orlando Simpson and the Magic agreed on a contract Friday, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Simpson made his NBA debut last season on a 10-day contract with the Thunder at the end of the year. He saw an absurd 43.5 minutes per game in four appearances and averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks as OKC tanked down the stretch. He was also part of OKC's G League team, where he averaged 14.6 points, 6.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 32.4 minutes across 35 regular-season appearances. With the Magic, he'll join the team for camp but will presumably be a staple with the G League team in Lakeland.

JULY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 13-7-6 in loss Simpson closed with 13 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one block across 47 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The Thunder once again employed a bizarre rotation, using only six players -- five of whom saw at least 43 minutes of action. Simpson led the way at 47 minutes and set new career bests in points, rebounds and assists. The rare point guard who relies heavily on a hook shot, Simpson is a unique young prospect, but he'll likely have trouble securing a full-time roster spot in 2022-23.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 11 assists in loss Simpson posted four points (2-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 137-101 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Simpson logged 39 minutes in his second NBA game after playing 44 minutes in his NBA debut one day prior. He shot poorly Wednesday but thrived as a producer, dishing a game-high 11 assists. Oklahoma City has been ravaged by injuries and has shut down multiple players, so Simpson should continue to see substantial opportunity over the team's final two games of the campaign.

Impact Simpson averaged 12.7 points, 6.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 30.3 minutes across 47 appearances during his second season with the Oklahoma City Blue. The undrafted point guard out of Michigan will start in his NBA debut Tuesday as the Thunder get creative with lineups down the stretch.
