Pacers announce summer league and rookie/free agent camp roster
The Pacers announced their roster for the Orlando Summer League on Tuesday. UCLA’s T.J. Leaf is the only draft pick participating, according to the report.
The Pacers have announced the squad that will suit up at the Mountain Dew Orlando Summer League at the beginning of next month. Among the players includes Rakeem Christmas, Georges Niang and Joe Young, all of whom played for the Pacers last season, as well as first-round pick T.J. Leaf from UCLA.
Absent from the roster are Ike Anigbogu and Edmond Sumner, both of whom were drafted by the Pacers last Thursday. The team’s head coach will be current Pacers assistant Popeye Jones, and Andrew Gaze, the head coach of the Sydney Kings in the Australian professional league, will assist him.
The Pacers first matchup will be against the Orlando Magic on July 1, and they’ll also face off against the Hornets, the Heat and the Mavericks, among others. All games will be broadcast on NBATV.
