Joe Young and Rakeem Christmas Sent Down to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants

This will be Joe Young’s first stint with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants this season. He played in three games for them last year, averaging 24.3 points per game on 20.0 shot attempts per game. Obviously, Joe is given the green light on the offensive end when he’s playing for the Mad Ants.

Joe actually requested to be sent to Fort Wayne.

It’s fully understandable. He’s not in the rotation for the Pacers when they’re fully healthy, and playing in the D-League is a great way to get some playing time and get some reps in.
