(Greater Sudbury, ON) The Sudbury Five return home this weekend for two games at the Sudbury Community Arena.

Saturday, the Five play host to the London Lightning. The Lightning are in second place in the Central division, trailing the first place Five by four points in the early stages of the season. The defending champion Lightning are led by 2018 Playoff MVP Garrett Williamson. Saturday's game will also be a special one for the Lightning as they play their first game under new Head Coach Elliott Etherington. Game time is 7:05 PM.

Sunday, the Five welcome the Halifax Hurricanes to the Sudbury Community Arena for the first and only time this season. The Hurricanes are enjoying a strong start to the season, recently ranked second in Week 4 of the National Basketball League's Power Rankings, just in front of the third ranked Five. Game time is 2:05 PM.

Tickets for both games are available online at thefive.ca or in person at the Sudbury Community Arena.

Five Announce Roster Moves

The Sudbury Five announce that they have made two changes to the team's roster.

The team has agreed to trade the playing rights for Canadian Alex Johnson to the Windsor Express for future considerations. Johnson's rights were acquired last week from the Saint John Riptide in exchange for Walter Pitchford. Both teams have mutually agreed that the future considerations of the deal will include the playing rights of Head Coach and General Manager Logan Stutz.

The team has also announced the release of Canadian Tyrrel Tate. Tate played in 5 games for the Five, where he averaged 4.4 points and 2.2 rebounds per game.
