Whether Alex Poythress just got called up or called down is a matter of interpretation, not to mention geography. But he's happy to be with the Pacers for a while.
Poythress got a "promotion" to the NBA from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the G-League Saturday, as the Pacers exercised his two-way contract. That meant making the two-hour drive down I-69 to Indianapolis, where he joined Saturday's practice at St. Vincent Center and caught the team's flight to Brooklyn for Sunday's game.
First-round draft pick TJ Leaf was sent to Fort Wayne, as were second-round picks Ike Anigbogu and Edmond Sumner.
