Norris Cole has found a new home in the NBA.
The seven-year guard and the Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a deal that will keep Cole with the Thunder for the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of The Vertical announced via Twitter.
Cole last played overseas in China for the Shandong Golden Stars this past fall. His last stint in the NBA was with the New Orleans Pelicans during the 2015-16 season in which he averaged 10.6 points and 3.7 assists (both career highs) over 26.6 minutes per game.
Cole will takeover the reserve guard role voided by Cameron Payne after he was dealt to the Chicago Bulls at last week’s trade deadline.
