Maledon logged 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.
In his seventh game since rejoining the Thunder from the G League, Maledon had his best performance of the season. The 20-year-old led the team in scoring along with Aleksej Pokusevski who also scored 18 points. Maledon hit a season high in points and tied his season high in assists while recording his highest minute total since Jan. 2. Maledon was favored over Tre Mann for a majority of the game due to his hot hand, which led to Mann playing just 18 minutes. It's good to see Maledon is capable of these high-level performances, but this shouldn't be expected while his playing time is so sporadic.
