Mad Ants to visit Capital City for NBA G League Playoffs

MARCH 26, 2023 - The Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the NBA G League affiliate of the Indiana Pacers, earned the sixth seed in the NBA G League Eastern Conference Playoffs. They will take on the third seed Capital City Go-Go, the NBA G League Affiliate of the Washington Wizards, on Tuesday in opening round play.

The game will be played at the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, March 28 with a 7:30 p.m. eastern tip. The game will be broadcast on NBATV.

The NBA G League Playoffs are a single elimination format until the Finals. Tuesday's game will be single elimination with the winner of the Mad Ants and Go-Go advancing to Thursday's Eastern Conference semi final at Delaware. Only the NBA G League Finals will feature more than one game and will be played in a best-of-three format.

The Mad Ants finished the regular season with five consecutive wins. That marks the second longest winning streak to finish a regular season in franchise history. The streak helped the team earn their first playoff berth since the 2017-2018 season.

The Mad Ants finished the regular season with an 18-14 record and with 30-20 full season record, including the Showcase Cup portion of the season. Only the 18-14 mark in the regular season played into the playoff race.

The trio of Indiana Pacers two-way player Trevelin Queen, as well as Gabe York and Justin Anderson became the NBA G League's first trio of players to all average 20 points or more per game for a full season since 2019-2020. They are just the seventh trio to do so in league history.
