MONDAY'S RESULTS
No Games Scheduled

12 BELOW: During its current five-game losing skid the Florida Flame has scored an average of 12 points below its season average (98.2/86.2).

THEY SAID IT: "I can shoot. Now I may have to play with some skates. Somebody needs to push me." ... Florida coach and former NBA sharpshooter Jeff Malone joked to the Ft. Myers News-Press about coming out of retirement to help ease his team's recent scoring woes.

FIRST TIME THREE: A win at Florida tonight would mark the first time Fayetteville has won three consecutive games all season.

FOLLOW THE LEADER: With 16 points at Tulsa this weekend, Fort Worth's Ime Udoka became the all-time scoring leader in D-League history with 1,841 points. He moved past Sedric Webber, who tallied 1,837 in parts of three seasons with Charleston and Columbus. Albuquerque guard Tierre Brown needs just 39 points to move past Webber into second.

FITCH IS 26: The Houston Rockets assigned guard Gerald Fitch to the Austin Toros on Monday, making him the 26th NBA player to be assigned to a D-League affiliate this season. Fitch joins guard Julius Hodge from the Nuggets as NBA assigned players on the Toros roster.

RECALL NOTICE: With seven days between games for Arkansas, all four NBA players that were assigned to the RimRockers were recalled to their NBA teams on Monday. The Hawks recalled Donta Smith, the Cavaliers recalled Martynas Andriuskevicius, while the Grizzlies brought Anthony Roberson and Lawrence Roberts back to Memphis.

ACTIVE NINE: There are currently nine of the 26 total NBA-assigned players active in the D-League. Those include Alex Acker (Pistons/Fayetteville), Eddie Basden (Bulls/Tulsa), Gerald Fitch (Rockets/Austin), Julius Hodge (Nuggets/Austin), Ersan Ilyasova (Bucks/Tulsa), Amir Johnson (Pistons/Fayetteville), Peter John Ramos (Wizards/Roanoke), Von Wafer (Lakers/Fort Worth), Bracey Wright (Timberwolves/Florida).

EIGHT IS ENOUGH: The Albuquerque Thunderbirds have used all of the eight player transactions allotted each D-League team per season. Unless a player has a season-ending injury or the T-Birds have a player called up or assigned by an NBA team, today's roster is the one coach Michael Cooper's club will finish the season with.
