The Oklahoma City Thunder are prepared to re-sign veteran point guard Derek Fisher, according to multiple reports.
After he was released by the Dallas Mavericks in December, Fisher is expected to re-join the OKC Thunder, where he posted 6.3 points and 1.3 assists in 20 playoff games last season. The move comes after OKC traded away Eric Maynor.
According to ESPN.com, Fisher will sign with the team Monday for the remainder of the season, according to multiple league sources.
In recent weeks, Fisher -- who doubles as NBA Players Association president -- has been working out of the NBPA offices in advance of the player vote during All-Star Weekend to oust union chief Billy Hunter.
Fisher was productive during his brief stint in Dallas, averaging 8.6 points and 3.6 assists in just over 25 minutes per game. And he was a natural fit in the Oklahoma City locker room last spring, delivering valuable championship experience to a team short on playoff-tested veterans.
Upon his release from the Mavericks in December, Fisher said: "The recovery time [from the knee injury] will be approximately two weeks. With this news and the difficulty I have been having being away from my family, I have asked the organization to waive me so I can return home.
