David Mirkovic - Back after brief benching Mirkovic closed with 12 points (4-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Saturday's 77-67 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Mirkovic came off the bench for the first time all season Wednesday, giving way to Ben Humrichous. He still played 30 minutes, logging six points and five boards, but it was definitely a down game by his standards. He was back in the starting five Saturday, and his production was right back in line with his season-long averages of 12.0 points and 8.3 rebounds. Look for similar production down the stretch.
