Fort Wayne Mad Ants Part of Four-Official D-League Experiment

The Fort Wayne Mad Ants’ Jan. 10 game against the Long Island Nets could help provide an answer to Paul George’s recent criticism of officiating.

Currently the NBA Development League is conducting an experiment using four- and five-person officiating crews at Long Island Nets home games. One of those games is against the Mad Ants on Jan. 10.

The D-League trial extends the experiment that took place during Summer League play last summer in Salt Lake City. However, the Salt Lake City Trial featured only four-official crews.

The Mad Ants will be the last team to be part of the four-official phase of the experiment.
