The St. John’s Edge have a familiar face back in the fold, acquiring the rights to Russell Byrd from the P.E.I. Island Storm for guard Maurice Jones.
Byrd, who played for the Edge last season, is averaging 18 points per game this season, along with 7.2 reblounds.
Jones had been a starter for the Edge this season, up there with Dez Lee in minutes played, although that changed in Tuesday’s 104-70 loss to Halifax at Mile One Centre, when he played only 19 minutes and scored three points.
Jones is averaging 15.4 points this season.
