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.

Yeah he needs to play and learn in game situations and he needs to get stronger.
