This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
You can use the same table multiple times by assigning alias to it.
SELECT i.ItemId, 
           uc.UserName AS [Creator Name], 
           ua.UserName AS [Assignee Name]
	FROM Item i
		JOIN User uc ON uc.UserId = i.CreatorId
		JOIN User ua ON ua.UserId = i.AssigneeId

>I've got an Item table with 3 fields (again to make it simple): ItemId, CreatorId and AssigneeId.
