Russell in, Howard out

The musical point guards continue tonight when the Mad Ants play Springfield at 7:30 at the Coliseum.

In Friday night's 107-104 loss to Maine, the Ants were without starting point guard Walker Russell Jr. due to a pulled groin muscle. In his place was Ron Howard.

But tonight, the roles are switched. Because Howard is at home with the flu, Russell has been called into action and will start tonight against the Armor.

The Ants (2-7) are on a five-game losing streak, which is the longest in the NBA D-League. Springfield enters with a 3-3 record.
