Edmond Sumner will be available to return tonight from a non-displaced fracture in his right hand, the team announced Thursday.
Sumner had been out since October 28, when he suffered the setback against Detroit.
Before the injury, the lightning-quick slasher was averaging 7.0 points on 50 percent shooting to go with 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals. With increased opportunity to manipulate the pick-and-roll and improved control over his athleticism, he had also started to exhibit some subtle signs of shifting, in addition to penetrating, the defense.
While continuing his rehab process, Sumner joined Oladipo in Fort Wayne for practice with the Mad Ants, where he offered up some valuable insight into what the two-time All-Star has been getting himself into.
