Oklahoma City, 15th December 2018: It’s been a rocky last few months for Amjyot Singh Gill. After being controversially suspended for a year by the Basketball Federation of India (allegedly for infighting during the Commonwealth Games), Singh now finds himself cut yet again by his NBA G-League team Oklahoma City Blue.

The stretch four had modified his game over the 2017-18 NBA G League season to become a reliable spot up shooter from deep. Once the season ended, in what seemed to be a very promising sign, Amjyot’s player rights were retained by OKC Blue, giving us cause for hope.

Amjyot joined the pre-season training camp in October, but it appears that he didn’t impress enough to secure a second season with the franchise.

However, Singh’s name later appeared in the roster and he played a few games before seemingly being cut again (as of today, his name is again off the roster).

In the 6 games he played in the ongoing 2018-19 season, Singh averaged 1.5 points in 6.5 minutes per game.

It remains to be seen what Amjyot’s future plans will be- whether he will stay on in Oklahoma City to train, join another league abroad or return to India.
