Bad news continues in Indianapolis. While the club explained that TJ Warren was recovering less quickly than expected from his foot injury, suggesting that his start to the season was compromised, the Pacers have just announced that Edmond Sumner had torn his Achilles tendon. during a summer training!
That means we probably shouldn’t see the 25-year-old point guard / fullback again next season.
A huge blow for the player, who had seen his “team option” at 2.3 million dollars to be activated by his club, and who will therefore be “free agent” next summer. A blow also for the club, because Edmond Sumner had been invaluable during the last campaign, to compensate for the various injuries of the workforce.
With 7.5 points averaging almost 40% behind the 3-point line, and 24 starts in 53 games, he had become increasingly important in the rotation.
