NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Boom, baby! The Indiana Pacers' G League team has rebranded.
The Pacers announced Wednesday that their G League team will be called the Noblesville Boom — the nickname being a nod to longtime Pacers coach and broadcaster Slick Leonard's infamous catch phrase of “boom, baby!”
The Boom will begin play next season in Noblesville, an Indianapolis suburb.
“We’re thrilled to tip off an exciting new era for our G League team, the Noblesville Boom, while honoring the legacy and global brand power of the Indiana Pacers,” Pacers Sports & Entertainment CEO Mel Raines said.
