The Long Island Nets, the G League’s reigning Eastern Conference champions, are set to tip off the 2019-20 season Saturday night, playing the Indiana Pacers affiliate, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in the Indiana city.
As is often the case with the G League, Long Island has a new look. There’s no one back from the G League finalists. Long Island has a total of 12 new players that include Brooklyn’s two two-ways, Henry Ellenson and Timothe Luawau-Cabarrot and a cast drawn from players cut by the Nets, local tryout successes and draft picks from both the G League and NBA Drafts.
