Approximately 1,000 former Sonics' season ticket holders may soon be getting a small cash settlement back from Clay Bennett as the result of a class-action lawsuit.

Bennett and his Professional Basketball Club have agreed to a $1.6 million settlement proposal with three fans who filed suit on behalf of their fellow ticket holders more than two years ago after the Sonics left for Oklahoma City.

The complaint has evolved several times since its original filing on Oct. 3, 2007, but ultimately came down to the fans seeking the difference between what their guaranteed ticket cost at KeyArena would have been compared with comparable seats at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City for the next two years.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward D.J. White underwent successful surgery today to repair an avulsion fracture in his right thumb. White suffered the injury during the Thunder?s practice on Tuesday, January 19th in Minnesota.

This season White is averaging 4.8 points and 1.9 rebound in eight games for the Thunder. The 6-9 forward has also appeared in six games for the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League. In those contests White averaged 18.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in 38.9 minutes per contest.

Knicks forward David Lee was asked by the Oklahoman on Monday whether he had given any thought to playing for the Thunder.

Lee will be a free agent after the season.

"Any team that has cap space, you have to give thought to," Lee said. "I got to spend time with all of three of them last summer at the Olympic camp in (Las) Vegas. They're all good guys. I've known Jeff (Green) a couple of years. Anytime you have exciting young players, it would be a fun place to play."

Even though the Thunder will have $14 million in cap space this coming offseason, Lee realizes that general manager Sam Presti is probably going to save money for Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook.

"They're probably saving the Brinks truck for those three guys," Lee said. "At this point there's so much still to be seen. I'm just concentrating on helping this team, which can do some good things, then see how everything pans out this summer."

Oklahoma City Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced today that the team has recalled forward DJ White from the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.

White appeared in six games (six starts) for the 66ers since he was originally assigned to Tulsa on December 26. The 6-9 forward averaged 18.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per contest while with Tulsa.  He tallied four double-doubles and scored 20 or more points twice.

The Chicago Bulls? Derrick Rose and the Oklahoma City Thunder?s Kevin Durant today were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, for games played Dec. 28, through Jan. 3.

Rose led the Bulls in scoring in each game, averaging 26.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists, as Chicago went 3-0. On Jan. 2, Rose became the first Bulls player to post a 30-point, five-rebound, five-assist game since 2008 (Kirk Hinrich) when he amassed 30 points, six rebounds and seven assists in a 101-93 win over Orlando.

Durant paced the league in scoring (34.3 ppg) and added 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 blocks, leading Oklahoma City to a 3-1 week. On Jan. 2, Durant set a Thunder franchise record by recording his seventh consecutive 30-point game, becoming the first player to do so since Nov. 2007 (LeBron James).

Thunder forward Kevin Durant has reiterated his desire to play for Team USA.

"I REALLY WANNA PLAY FOR THE USA TEAM THIS SUMMER...ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE," Durant wrote on his Twitter page.

Durant has said in the past that he wants to play for his country and USA Basketball head Jerry Colangelo said previously that the Oklahoma City star could replace someone on the roster.

The Thunder won their fifth straight game on Thursday as Kevin Durant notched his sixth consecutive 30-point contest.

Oklahoma City defeated Utah 87-86 and Durant scored 31 points to break the franchise record for consecutive 30-point explosions.

"We're finding a way to win games," Nick Collison said. "We've been talented for a long time and now we're finding a way to win even when we don't play well."

The franchise hadn't won five games in a row since March 18-25, 2005 when they were located in Seattle and known as the Supersonics.
