I periodically read Ants box score. Ike has been there and back a few times without press releases. Sumner has never played. Will watch for Leaf.

The Indiana Pacers, surprisingly, sent T.J. Leaf down to the G-League on Saturday morning. He was accompanied by fellow UCLA rookie Ike Anigbogu. In his debut, Leaf scored 20 points and pulled down 9 rebounds.

Leaf displayed his skill-set, scoring with his shooting ability and with his ability to put the ball on the floor and make a play. Leaf shot 9 of 19 from the floor, 2 of 4 from deep, and played 32 minutes.

Watched Leaf's highlight video from the Mad Ants game.

Boy can shoot off that pick n fade for sure, but his offense was never the reason he got sent down. Dude's gotta bulk up. Defensively, he has to improve.
