He has also played for the Phoenix Suns in addition to the Pacers.
Sumner: The former Indiana Pacer will wear 4 this season. He was traded to the Nets last year, but was already out for the season due to injury so he had been waived. The Nets have now brought him back in free agency.
The Nets had a tough season finishing the year as the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, and getting swept by the Boston Celtics in the first-round of the NBA Playoffs.
