After previously playing for the Pacers, appearing in three games on hardship deal in January, Justin Anderson is getting another chance to audition, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Anderson, who leads the G League in scoring with 27.8 points per game, recently captured G League Player of the Week Honors for games played from March 7-13, averaging 37.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, six assists and 1.7 steals per contest in three wins for the Mad Ants, while shooting 55 percent overall and 37 percent from three.
A first-round pick by the Mavericks in 2015, Anderson has past experience with Rick Carlisle and what the team implemented at training camp and with Fort Wayne but will be returning to a different Pacers squad than the team he suited up for as a replacement player.
