Joe Young Assigned To Fort Wayne Mad Ants

One day you’re in a Gatorade commercial, the next you’re headed to the NBA Development League.

Joe Young will be suiting up with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the near future as the Indiana Pacers have sent him down to join fellow assignees Shayne Whittington and Rakeem Christmas according to Pacers.com.

Young has averaged 1.3 points and 0.6 assists in 5.9 minutes per game in the seven games he played, a third of the Pacers games so far this season.
