The heart and soul of this team, Justin Kier returned in limited action, but he’s back. Justin saw just 4 minutes, had 2 rebounds and 1 turnover and did not attempt a shot.
Greg Calixte Out With Toe Injury
Greg Calixte played just 12 minutes before exiting the game with an injury…
Cali is carried off the court with what looks like an ankle injury, Oduro checks in and gives a shimmy and shake for a bucket. The guy has post moves for days.

Hyperextended big toe for Greg Calixte, I'm told. Needed crutches on his way out.

One step forward, one step back. Hope Greg gets back soon!!!
