Sioux Falls Skyforce (17-12) at Birmingham Squadron (9-22)

Preview

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Interstat) — The surging Sioux Falls Skyforce visit the struggling Birmingham Squadron in a G League matchup Wednesday night at Legacy Arena.

The Skyforce (17-12) enter on a high note after a 117-103 road victory at Santa Cruz on Saturday. They have won seven of their last 11 games and sit firmly in the playoff picture. Their success is fueled by point guard Jahmir Young, who is in the midst of a sensational January. Over his last 10 games, Young is averaging 30.2 points and 10.4 assists, including a 34-point, 10-assist performance in the win over Santa Cruz.

In contrast, the Squadron (9-22) have lost eight consecutive games, with their last win coming on Jan. 3. Their most recent defeat was a 120-105 home loss to Cleveland on Saturday. Guard Trey Alexander has been a bright spot during the skid, averaging 22.0 points and 7.4 assists over the last five contests.

The teams last met on Dec. 14, 2025, a game Birmingham won 124-122. Wednesday’s contest presents a stark reversal of momentum. Sioux Falls boasts one of the league’s most potent offenses, while Birmingham has struggled defensively, allowing an average of 113.3 points per game during its losing streak.

For Birmingham to snap its slide, it must find a way to contain Young and slow the Skyforce’s transition game. For Sioux Falls, maintaining its offensive efficiency on the road against a desperate opponent will be key as it looks to solidify its standing.

The game tips off at 7 p.m. CST. Following this contest, Sioux Falls begins a two-game series at Texas on Saturday, while Birmingham travels to face Noblesville on Friday.
