The Sudbury Five are back in action this weekend, welcoming the Kitchener-Waterloo (KW) Titans on Saturday and the Windsor Express on Sunday. Saturday’s game is set for 7 p.m. while Sunday’s is at 2 p.m.

The Five look to bounce back this weekend following a tough loss against the Derby City Distillers last weekend. Sitting at 11-9 on the season, the Five are fourth in the Basketball Super League standings.

Despite the loss, AJ Mosby Jr. and Jalen Hayes put up performances that the Five will certainly be looking for more of. Mosby posted 32 points to go along with six rebounds and three assists, while shooting more than 40 per cent from beyond the arc. Hayes posted 23 points, while collecting eight rebounds, and adding three assists.

This game also marks the return of former Five point guard, Braylon Rayson, who recently joined the KW Titans roster.

This Sunday the Five host their 4th annual halftime Baby Race. The fastest babies in Sudbury will be center court during halftime to compete head-to-head in the biggest race of their lives. One quick crawler will be crowned the fastest in Sudbury and will win a baby prize pack. This year fans can also get involved by placing bets on the fastest baby for charity. 

Visit the baby race table in the lower concourse to place your bets for the chance to win. Sunday is also a sensory friendly game. Fans can expect a reduced volume level and use of lights.
