The Oklahoma City Thunder announced play-by-play commentator Brian Davis' contract will not be renewed for next season, according to The Oklahoman's Brett Dawson.

The decision comes two months after the Thunder suspended Davis for controversially claiming Russell Westbrook was "out of his cotton-picking mind" after a stellar assist by the All-Star. He was suspended for Game 1 of the Thunder's Round 1 Western Conference playoff series against the Utah Jazz for the comment.

There is no indication this was the reason Davis' contract was not renewed.

Davis debuted as the Thunder's play-by-play commentator on Fox Sports Oklahoma when the team moved to Oklahoma City in 2008.
