Pacers' G League Team — the Mad Ants — to hold open player tryouts on Oct. 5
For the first time since 2019, the Indiana Mad Ants are welcoming players at a public tryout ahead of 2024-25 NBA G League season.
Think you have enough game to compete in the NBA G League?
The Indiana Mad Ants, the G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers, are offering an opportunity for anyone to try out for the team.
A one-day open player tryout is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Noblesville Boys and Girls Club in Noblesville. Registration is required due to limited space — click here to register — and it requires a $250 non-refundable fee.
Check-in runs from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday morning.
The team has held private invitation-only tryouts in recent years. But this is the first time they’ve opened it up since before the 2019-20 season in Fort Wayne.
Typically, a few players will be given invitations to training camp later this month. And last year during tryouts, 6-foot-8 forward Will Vorhees earned a roster spot.
Chris Taylor is general manager, Tim Brown Jr. is assistant GM, and the head coach is Tom Hankins.
The Mad Ants open their season in Cleveland on Nov. 9 and 10. They will play home games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse once again as they wait for their new arena to be built in Noblesville. The groundbreaking was held on Nov. 6.
