NEW YORK, N.Y. (Feb. 18, 2010)-VERSUS will air its fifth NBA Development League game on Saturday, Feb. 20, at 11:59 p.m. ET, with the Sioux Falls Skyforce hosting the Dakota Wizards.
2010 NBA D-League All-Star Romel Beck's Dakota Wizards head into rival Sioux Falls to take on fellow All-Star and Virginia Military Academy alum Reggie Williams and the Skyforce as the NBA D-League rivals battle for Dakota supremacy.
Both teams have shown dominance at home, with the Wizards defeating the Skyforce in all four meetings in Bismarck, and the Skyforce beating the Wizards twice at Sioux Falls arena. Williams and teammate Alexander Johnson, who has played in more than 100 games following his career at Florida State, look to keep the home-dominance alive on Saturday night.
