Although Mitrou-Long came off the bench for the Mad Ants during Wednesday's season opener, he was still quite efficient from the floor and led the depth players with seven rebounds.

Pacers' Naz Mitrou-Long: Re-signs on Exhibit 10 deal
Mitrou-Long re-signed Sunday with the Pacers on an Exhibit 10 contract.
Mitrou-Long had previously been with the Pacers on a two-way deal during the 2019-20 season, appearing in five regular-season contests. Since Indiana has elected to use its two two-way spots on Brian Bowen and rookie Cassius Stanley in 2020-21, Mitrou-Long will face a tougher path to seeing action at the NBA level during the upcoming season. Assuming he's not included on Indiana's 15-man opening night roster, Mitrou-Long will likely suit up for the Pacers' G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Sunday marked the first time Mitrou-Long had played since Feb. 9, as the Mad Ants have been holding him out due to an ankle injury. It's unclear when the 26-year-old will return to his usual role, but it's encouraging to see him back on the court.

Pacers' Naz Mitrou-Long: Absent from lineup Friday
Mitrou-Long (rest) didn't play in Friday's G League loss to Wisconsin.

The 26-year-old has seen limited action in the G League as a result of his injury, but he's averaging 16.7 PPG and 8.8 APG. Mitrou-Long could presumably be ready to return sooner rather than later if all goes well with his recovery.

Pacers' Naz Mitrou-Long: Returns from injury
Mitrou-Long (ankle) had seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists and four rebounds over 16 minutes in Thursday's G League win against Westchester.
Mitrou-Long was assigned to the Mad Ants on Jan. 14, but he had been unable to suit up as he dealt with a right ankle injury. However, he was healthy enough to return in a limited fashion Thursday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to a prominent role as he continues to regain his health.

Pacers' Naz Mitrou-Long: Still awaiting return
Mitrou-Long (ankle) hasn't appeared in either of the G League Fort Wayne Mad Ants' last two games since being assigned to the affiliate Jan. 14.
The Pacers' decision to send the two-way player back to Fort Wayne last week seemed to suggest that he had moved past the sprained right ankle, but his ongoing absence from game action indicates that he's not yet fully healthy. Fort Wayne is off the schedule until Jan. 25, so that will likely represent Mitrou-Long's next opportunity to play, as he's not expected to enter the NBA rotation at any point before then. Mitrou-Long hasn't appeared in a game for either the Pacers or Fort Wayne since Dec. 13.

Pacers' Naz Mitrou-Long: Still out with ankle injury
Mitrou-Long (ankle) is listed as out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Mitrou-Long hasn't logged an appearance for the NBA team or the G League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants since Dec. 13 due to a sprained right ankle. Once he's finally cleared for game action, Mitrou-Long will most likely get his feet wet at the G League level, considering he hasn't been a regular member of the NBA rotation at any point this season.
