Here is the latest update on NBA-assigned players in the NBA D-League. As of Thursday, there were only three players currently on assignment after a few recalls earlier in the week. Milwaukee's Larry Sanders became the 10th first-round pick in the 2010 Draft to head to the NBA D-League when he was assigned to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Monday.

Larry Sanders, Fort Wayne (Bucks) - Sanders became the first player assigned to Fort Wayne this season on Monday, and he helped the Mad Ants to a victory in his debut against the Springfield Armor on Wednesday night. Sanders started the game and recorded 15 points and 14 assists while also picking up two blocked shots. The 6-11 F/C is known as a good defender and shot-blocker, but he should also get his fair share of offensive opportunities on a Fort Wayne team that has been looking for production from the center spot since Chris Hunter suffered a season-ending injury in late December.

James Anderson, Austin (Spurs) - The Spurs' first-round pick in June was recalled on Tuesday for the second time this season, meaning the Spurs are permitted to assign him one more time in 2010-11. He struggled in Monday's loss to Texas, shooting 4-13 from the field and turning the ball over seven times. Overall he's averaging 14.7 points and 4.9 rebounds for the Toros, who are 3-4 while he's in the lineup. Anderson was active for the Spurs on Wednesday against the Thunder, but did not see any playing time.

Armon Johnson, Idaho (Trail Blazers) - Johnson was recalled by the Trail Blazers this week after a productive stint with the Idaho Stampede. He didn't have any problems getting to the basket in the NBA D-League, averaging 18.2 points on .597 (71-119) shooting despite connectin on just 3-11 from three-point range. The second round pick played briefly for the Trail Blazers against the Lakers on Wednesday and scored on his only shot attempt of the game.

Willie Warren, Bakersfield (Clippers) - Warren provided plenty of offense off the bench for Bakersfield in a six-game stint before he was recalled at the All-Star break. The former Oklahoma star averaged 21.0 points and 7.0 assists in six games, helping the Jam go 5-1 during his time in the lineup. He was especially effective from long-range, making .464 (13-28) of his attempts from three-point range. Now back with the Clippers, he played briefly against Oklahoma City on Tuesday and New Orleans on Wednesday but is eligible for two more assignments to the Jam this season.

Byron Mullens, Tulsa (Thunder) - Mullrens remains on assignment with a Tulsa team that hasn't played a game since February 16. He'll return to action on Thursday after averaging 16.7 points and 8.2 rebounds in his first five games with Tulsa.

Pape Sy, Utah (Hawks) - Sy fell out of the starting lineup after shooting 2-15 in his first three games in February. Since then, he's been mildly effective as a reserve, averaging 8.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in his last four games with the Flash.
