Free agent, former Pacers two-way combo guard Isaiah Wong is joining the G League United roster for a September exhibition tournament, the G League Invitational, the G League announced (Twitter link).

Wong, 23, was selected by the Pacers with the No. 55 overall pick in last year’s draft after being named an All-American in Miami. The 6-foot-4 guard agreed to a two-way deal with Indiana and ultimately played in just one game with the Pacers, scoring two points in just four minutes.

In 30 regular season games with the Pacers’ NBAGL affiliate team, the Indiana Mad Ants, Wong averaged 14.8 points on a slash line of .437/.283/.814. He also posted 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game.

The Invitational is scheduled to begin on September 4th and 6th.

• With the schedule officially set for this year’s Emirates NBA Cup, formerly the season-long tournament, The Athletic’s Zach Harper and Shams Charania provide an early preview of this year’s six groups and predict which eight clubs will advance to the quarterfinals. In perhaps the biggest surprise prediction, Harper and Charania believe the Pelicans will survive West Group C and advance. Group C is made up of a whole host of teams, including the Nuggets, who will be champions in 2023, the Mavericks, who will be West champions in 2024, the re-formed Warriors and the rebounding Grizzlies.
