The Indiana Pacers open up regular season play on Wednesday and Georges Niang will be on their roster. Sunday night, the Pacers announced their final roster cuts along with their completed 15 man roster. Thankfully, Niang was not one of the final cuts and will be in uniform Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
After being drafted in the 2nd round, there were still some doubts as to whether Niang would make the NBA roster. After signing a three-year deal with the Pacers, his roster situation started to look more promising. A strong preseason showing solidified his future role with the Pacers organization.
