D-league: Bucks call Sessions to return to big club

On Friday, former Pack player Ramon Sessions was called back by the Milwaukee Bucks, general manager Larry Harris said.

Sessions was the 57th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. He was assigned to the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League on Nov. 8, two weeks into the 2007-08 NBA season, though he did not see playing time with the Bucks.

He officially re-joins the Bucks today, at home, when they host the Houston Rockets.

"Coming back here, I was feeling it in practice, I was so excited to be here," Sessions said in a podcast on the team's web site. "Once I get here, out on the court, I'll be a little nervous, but I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy every minute of it."

Sessions appeared in 24 games with Tulsa, averaging a team-high 21.1 points (sixth in the D-League), a team-high 7.6 assists (third) and 6.5 rebounds in 36.2 minutes per game. Nevada teammate Nick Fazekas, the 34th overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks, is the 66ers second-leading scorer and leading rebounder, with 18.3 points and 9.7 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per game.

"It was a great experience, by far, getting a lot of game minutes and a lot of experience..." Sessions said.

The 6-foot-3 guard left Nevada last year, a season early, while Fazekas played four years for the Pack.

Sessions played in five preseason games with the Bucks, averaging 1.4 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 7.0 minutes of action.
