Victor Oladipo is out for the season. That creates an obvious issue of depth on the roster for the Indiana Pacers. Whether they make any other moves or not, the Pacers are calling up Edmond Sumner from the G-League to fortify their depth at guard.
If you haven’t paid attention to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants or the 9 games Sumner appeared in with the Pacers this season, you might be saying to yourself, “Why should I care about Edmond Sumner?”
If you have been paying attention, you already know Sumner stepped up his game in the G-League this year and deserves his chance to earn a spot on the Pacers roster.
