Dasher Notes
The Spurs return home to play the Springfield Homers Saturday night at the Coliseum. Hopefully they get some sleep on the non-stop from Honolulu to DIA for tonight's contest. It's likely some players will be rested after the long plane trip with fatigue lending to the possibility of injury. With the playoffs looming, now is not the time to lose any key players to injury.
