Alando Tucker is back in the D-League, and has wasted no time picking up where he left off. In his first game back, he went off for 33 points and 10 rebounds. The 33 points came on 12-of-22 from the field. This afternoon, he did it again, scoring 39 points on 16-of-23 and pulling down seven rebounds. Maybe he's trying for a second Performer of the Week award, or maybe he's just trying to upstage fellow Suns rookie D.J. Strawberry, who got a Performer of the Week award of his own right before being recalled on Thursday. Assuming Alando stays in the D-League, he should be on NBATV Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon as part of the D-League Showcase. The Thunderbirds play at 3:45 Eastern (1:45 Mountain) both days.
