DES MOINES, IA, Nov. 29, 2011- The 2011 NBA D-League Champion Iowa Energy will see a familiar face the next two days as they head to McAllen, Texas for a pair of games against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and former Energy Head Coach Nick Nurse.

Wednesday's game will be held at 10:30 AM Central as the Vipers will host a kids day game. The following night, the same two squads will play at 7:00 PM. Both games can be viewed online at www.d-league.com using the free Futurecast online streaming platform.

Iowa split a pair of road games last weekend, defeating Canton 100-82 on national television before falling at Sioux Falls the next night by a score of 105-117. Energy center Jarrid Famous leads the team in points per game (20.5) and rebounds per game (11.5) thus far.
