The Indiana Pacers signed Alex Poythress from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Thursday, showing us that they are putting their G League affiliate to good use.
In the past, it seemed the Pacers only saw the Mad Ants as a rehab facility or a place for their underused players to get momentum going, but now they’re starting to use it as a proper minor league affiliate. This also ends his two-way status.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the deal isn’t guaranteed beyond this season.
Poythress’s new contract is guaranteed for $778,000 this season, and it becomes fully guaranteed at $1.
