Future Indiana Pacers guard Keisei Tominaga and former Pacers guard Isaiah Wong are both scheduled to play in the G League Fall Invitational next month.
The event, which will feature two games between a G League team and Serbian club KK Mega, is scheduled to take place on September 4 and 6. KK Mega will face a team called G League United, which the G League says is “comprised of select G League juniors and stars who will represent the G in domestic and international competitions.”
Selected 55th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, Wong played for the Pacers last season. He appeared in one game and scored two points – since he was on a two-way contract, he played most of his time in the G League. The Miami product averaged 15.8 points per game for the Indiana Mad Ants.
While Wong’s most recent NBA team is still the Pacers, he played for the Phoenix Suns in the summer league and has not signed anywhere for the upcoming season. The G League Fall Invitational will be another chance for him to prove himself to NBA teams.
Tominaga, on the other hand, is a rookie guard who went undrafted in June. The Nebraska product signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pacers shortly after the draft, as reported here. Pacers on SI.
The 23-year-old, however, did not play for Indiana in the summer league. Instead, he played for Japan at the Olympics – where he made several appearances but was eliminated in the group stage. With an Exhibit 10 contract, Tominaga could play for the Mad Ants next season.
Indiana’s G League team is still being assembled for the upcoming season, and some current and emerging talent for the roster will be seen early next month.
