Rotowire
Petty registered six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Vipers.
Petty didn't do much in this game, but that has been a trend with him all season long, and he should continue to hold a lesser role off the bench for a struggling Birmingham team. He's averaging just 6.0 points per game across 22 outings.

Petty recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and a block across 27 minutes in Friday's loss to the Skyforce.

Rotowire
Petty posted 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 28 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to Lakeland.
Petty has scored in double digits in two of his last three appearances, but overall, his season numbers have been quite inconsistent due to the own nature of his role off the bench. Petty only averages 7.1 points per game, but he should remain a consistent second-unit threat for the Squadron.

John Petty: Goes for 15 points
Rotowire
Petty racked up 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two assists, two blocks, a rebound and a steal across 35 minutes in Saturday's 129-103 loss to the Legends.
Petty scored a combined five points over his first two appearances of the season, but he enjoyed a bigger role in this one and responded with a solid scoring performance. This might lead to more minutes in the coming games for Petty, who failed to play more than 25 minutes in the first two contests of the campaign.
