Aside of his short stint with Partizan NIS at the end of the 2017-18 season, Amida Brimah has focused on making it to the NBA through the G League and the Summer League since launching his professional career in 2017. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Indiana Pacers will add the 25-year-old Ghanaian center.

Brimah is expected to fight for a roster spot during the preseason. The past two seasons he took part in the training camp of the San Antonio Spurs, but ultimately settled for G League action with the organization’s affiliate, the Austin Spurs.

The 2014 NCAA champion with Connecticut and the 2018 G League champion is coming off 6.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game in the 2019 NBA Summer League with the Brooklyn Nets squad at Las Vegas. As for his 2018-19 G League campaign, he notched 8.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per contest earning G League All-Defensive honors for the second year in a row.
