The Phoenix Suns recalled guard Elie Okobo from G League affiliate Northern Arizona Suns Saturday.
The first-rounder averaged 18.6 points, 7.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals in five games with the NAZ Suns in his second stint in the G League.
The 21-year-old Okobo scored 20 or more points four times and recorded two double-doubles. He recorded a career-high 14 assists against the Erie BayHawks in a loss on Friday at the 2018 MGM Resorts NBA G League Winter Showcase in Las Vegas.
The Phoenix Suns recently acquired guard Austin Rivers from the Washington Wizards in a three-team trade to help with depth at point guard, but Rivers was released shortly after the acquisition.
The Suns head to D.C. to face the Wizards and forward Trevor Ariza, who was traded for Rivers and forward Kelly Oubre Jr. after signing him to a one-year deal in the offseason.
The game can be heard on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station starting at 5:00 p.m.

Hi Vince
It's Shelly from HR. I was wondering what your week was looking like. I want to get everyone from the station together to call Doug and Wolf fat no-talents. Shoot me an email or call my extension when you know your schedule. Thanks!
Utah is in the most trouble next week playing Oregon. This game coupled with the Wildcat's game against the Ducks should be a good indication of if the North is still ahead of the South. Hopefully they can find a way to use that great defense to beat the Ducks. -Ducks.
The ASU plays ND at home. This will be the biggest media game for ASU of the year. It will be the earliest game for ASU of the year. Also it will be against the highest ranked team they've faced since losing to Oregon in 2012. Finally ASU has never beaten ND. It is time for some magic in Tempe! -ASU!
Coming off a big win against the Cats UCLA will take it's foot off the gas. -Upset for UCLA.
The demoralized Cats will play Col with some vengeance in their eyes. The Buffalo are tough but will be beat down. -Wildcats
USC has their other, other rival and wins a shoot out. -USC.
