The Mad Ants have traded JaJuan Johnson and their 2013 first round pick to Canton in exchange for Harangody and the Charge's third round pick in the 2013 D-League draft.

"We are all very excited about bringing Luke on board with the team," said Mad Ants president Jeff Potter. "We feel his combination of rebounding and scoring will help get this team on the right track. It is difficult to have to part with JaJuan, but we feel that Luke addresses some of our needs and could not pass on this opportunity to acquire him."

Harangody, a three time First Team All Big East player at Notre Dame, was selected in the second round of the 2010 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics.

The Indiana Pacers have reassigned rookie guard Orlando Johnson to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the Pacers’ NBA Development League affiliate.

The Fort Wayne Mad Ants traded point guard Walker Russell, Jr. to the Reno Bighorns for Anthony Richardson and Jack McClinton.

"I would like to thank Walker for all his contributions to the Mad Ants since our inception," said Mad Ants President Jeff Potter. "It is never easy to trade someone like Walker, but I think the organization needs to go in another direction and trading Walker was a step I felt needed to be taken to make that happen."
