DES MOINES, IA, Dec 2, 2011- The 2011 NBA D-League Champion Iowa Energy have made three roster moves ahead of tomorrow's home opener vs Erie at 7pm.

Iowa re-signed forward Anthony Simpson, who was with the team in training camp. Simpson, a 6'8" forward, played for Kent State University in 2009-10, where he averaged 9.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game. Simpson is expected to be in uniform for the Energy Saturday night. To make room for Simpson, the Energy waived forward Stanley Robinson for personal reasons. Iowa will retain Robinson's rights going forward.

In a separate move, the Energy picked up forward Roderick Flemings, a 6'7" forward out of Hawaii. Flemings played last season in Spain, and was drafted in the 6th round of this year's NBA D-League Draft by the Reno BigHorns. Flemings was waived by Reno, allowing Iowa to claim him from the available player pool. As a senior at Hawaii, Flemings averaged 16.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. Flemings status for Saturday's game is unknown.

The addition of Flemings brings Iowa's roster to 11 players. Effective November 28, NBA D-League teams are permitted to increase their roster size from 10 NBA D-League players to 12. Teams will be permitted to carry and dress a maximum of 12 players until one week after the commencement of NBA training camps, at which point they will be required to return to no more than 10 NBA D-League players.

The Energy return home from their four game road trip to host Erie on Saturday in the home opener. Saturday's game will also include the championship banner unveiling and a ring ceremony. Team AcroDunk, a trampoline dunk team, will perform at halftime.
