Monday's Results (Home Team CAPS)
No Games Scheduled
PERFORMER OF WEEK: On assignment from the Detroit Pistons, Amir Johnson of the Sioux Falls Skyforce has been named the D-LEAGUE.com Performer of the Week for the second time this season. Johnson recorded two double-doubles over the weekend for Sioux Falls, averaging 27.5 points, 15.5 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 steals. He shot 19-of-30 from the field and 17-of-18 from the line. Sioux Falls is 16-3 when he is in the lineup.
THEY SAID IT: "He's really matured mentally, too. Those numbers are legit. He's playing against legit players." ... Pistons coach Flip Saunders told the Detroit Free Press about Amir Johnson's impressive play in the NBA D-League.
HE'S BACK: The Los Angeles Lakers have reassigned rookie guard Jordan Farmar to the Los Angeles D-Fenders. The former UCLA star is expected to be in uniform when the D-Fenders host Albuquerque today. This is Farmar's second assignment to the D-League. He became the first player to play in a D-League and an NBA game in the same day on Sunday and could turn the trick again today. The Lakers are host to Denver following the D-Fenders game.
IN THE HOUSE: Dakota, Sioux Falls, Idaho and Colorado are all locked into the 2007 D-League postseason. Seeds and dates are still to be determined.
FOOT IN THE DOOR: A Fort Worth win or Austin loss tonight assures the Flyers of a postseason berth and eliminates the Toros. Obviously the opposite keeps Austin alive for another day.
ON THE PORCH: Los Angeles, Albuquerque and Anaheim all have a shot at the final spot in the West. With five games left, the D-Fenders look to hold the trump card, but the Thunderbirds play four of six at home. The Arsenal plays LA three times, twice in Anaheim.
