Former Xavier University star guard Edmond Sumner Tweeted on Wednesday that he's been cleared to make his debut with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants - the Indiana Pacers' G-League team - on Friday after missing the first half of his rookie season as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn ACL.
