The Springfield Armor have acquired guard Ben Uzoh from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in exchange for forward Tim Ohlbrecht.

“I’m extremely excited about Ben joining our organization,” said Armor head coach Bob MacKinnon. “Getting a lead guard of his caliber, someone who we feel is a definite NBA Call-Up prospect, is a tremendous accomplishment for our organization. I think the fans in Springfield will be very excited to welcome Ben back.”

Uzoh (6-3, 205, Tulsa) joins the Armor after being waived by the Denver Nuggets during the preseason.
