Indiana Pacers send former Xavier star Edmond Sumner to G League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants

Former Xavier University standout Edmond Sumner debuted with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in January after missing the first half of his rookie season recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL.

The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday that Sumner is headed back to the Pacers' NBA G-League team after playing just 20 total minutes and scoring two points through Indiana's first 11 games of the season.

Sumner looked great for the Pacers during the preseason, shooting 13-of-18 from the field - 72.2 percent - in his first three NBA preseason games.

Sumner scored 13 points on 6-of-8 from the field in 19 minutes off the bench in the Pacers' 110-100 win in their preseason opener against former UC star Gary Clark and the Houston Rockets.
