OKLAHOMA CITY -- OKC Thunder rookie Cole Aldrich has been recalled from the NBA's Developmental League to rejoin the Thunder roster, general manager Sam Presti said Monday.

Aldrich appeared in five game for the 66ers and started all five of them.

He averaged 7.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots in 27.4 minutes.

Aldrich will rejoin the Thunder for tonight's 7 p.m. contest against the Chicago Bulls in Chicago.

Teams are allowed to send players to the D-League a total of three times during the season. The two-week stint for Aldrich was his first trip to the NBDL this season.
