The Scouting Report

Last season the Mad Ants swept their way to a D-League title without a single post-season loss. This year, their Central Division rivals refuse to let them get off so easy. In fact, the division is so closely contested that during mid-December every team was within one game of first place. If the Mad Ants wish to set themselves apart, they will either need to wear uniforms covered in LED lights or rack up valuable wins on their home court in games like this New Year’s Day tilt against Oklahoma City.

Fort Wayne Mad Ants

When the Continental Basketball Association went under in 2001, Fort Wayne was without a minor league basketball franchise for six years. Taking the place of the CBA’s Fort Wayne Fury and rescuing countless basketballs from unemployment lines, the Mad Ants arrived as the NBA Developmental League affiliates of the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons—an organization that was originally founded in Fort Wayne. Today, they act as the sole independent team in the league, sharing a loose affiliation with 13 different franchises. The approach has paid off for them: in 2014 they took home their first-ever D-League championship.
