TODAY'S SERIES INFO Albuquerque at Florida: First meeting.
POSITIVE PROBLEM: Guard John Lucas III is back in Tulsa after playing out two 10-day contracts with the Houston Rockets. When he left the 66ers after 14 games, he led the team in scoring (15.1). In his absence Will Conroy has filled the void and is averaging 13.3 points and 5.9 assists.
THEY SAID IT: "It will be tough on Will Conroy because he is playing so well, but I'm not going to have a guy like (John) Lucas lose his spot because he got called up. Will is worthy of a call up and new he has to go back to the bench."...Tulsa coach Joey Meyer told the Tulsa World on the 66ers point guard conundrum.
JONES TO CELTICS: The Boston Celtics recalled Dwayne Jones from the Florida Flame on Wednesday, leaving coach Jeff Malone's club minus the D-League's leading rebounder (11.7).
