McGary (personal) has rejoined the Thunder after being away from the team for nearly two weeks, Royce Young of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGary took a leave of absence from the team near the end of the regular season but has not revealed his reasons behind the decision. The second-year forward was on the bench in street clothes Monday night and was back at practice Tuesday working on post moves with Oklahoma City's other big men. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Thursday's Game 3, but coach Billy Donovan did not intimate that McGary's absence would result in any sort of disciplinary action on the team's end. "He looks great," Donovan said. "I'm really happy for him that he's back and worked through whatever he needed to work through."

McGary (personal) was unavailable for Tuesday's 102-98 overtime loss to the Spurs, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGary has been away from the team for the last several days to attend to a personal matter, but the Thunder haven't provided any indication when he might be back. The second-year forward hasn't been a part of the Thunder's rotation at any point this season, logging just 20 appearances on the campaign and averaging 1.3 points and 0.9 rebounds over 3.6 minutes.

McGary is currently away from the team for an undisclosed personal reason, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGary hasn't seen court action since his six-minute outing against the Sixers on Mar. 18, so his current absence from the team doesn't necessarily open up playing time for his fellow teammates. His next opportunity to return will be for the Thunder's regular season finale in San Antonio on Tuesday.

McGary was recalled from the D-League's Oklahoma City Blue on Thursday, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
With a matchup looming Friday against the lowly 76ers, McGary may have a rare opportunity to see some extended court time. McGary's development seems to have stalled in his second season as he's averaging 1.2 points over 3.5 minutes in 19 appearances with the Thunder.

McGary was recalled from the D-League's Oklahoma City Blue on Saturday, NBA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGary is averaging 14.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 steals over 25.1 minutes in his 15 appearances in the D-League. He's rarely seen the floor during his time with the Thunder, and that will likely remain the case so long as Steven Adams, Serge Ibaka, Enes Kanter, and Nick Collison slot in ahead of him on the depth chart.

McGary was recalled by the Thunder on Sunday and is in uniform ahead of tip-off against the Cavaliers, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being sent down to the D-League on Friday, McGary will rejoin the Thunder ahead of Sunday's tilt. Still, his addition to the roster won't make for much of a fantasy impact given that he has not played more than five minutes in any game since November.

McGary was assigned to the D-League on Friday, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGary has seen only a limited role for the Thunder this season, stuck behind the likes of established veterans Serge Ibaka, Steven Adams, Enes Kanter and Nick Collison in the rotation. He's fared well in 14 D-League contests, averaging 14.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game.

McGary has played in two of the Thunder's five games in February, and is averaging two points and a rebound in 2.5 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from the D-League's Oklahoma City Blue in late January, McGary has been active for all of the Thunder's contests, but has only seen the court in blowouts. That will largely remain the case for the second half of the season, as he'll continue to rank behind Serge Ibaka, Steven Adams, Enes Kanter, and Nick Collison in the team's frontcourt rotation.

McGary was recalled from the D-League's Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday, Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGary didn't end up playing in Tuesday's win over the Knicks and will likely only see light minutes at the back end of the Thunder's rotation during his stay in the NBA. He's appeared in just 13 games this season.
