Anderson (COVID-19 protocols) was activated by the Mad Ants on Tuesday, per the G League transactions page.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols during his 10-day deal with the Pacers, essentially spelling an end to his time in basketball's top league. However, his activation would seem to suggest he's ready to contribute again for the Mad Ants.

The Pacers didn't re-sign Anderson (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) to a second 10-day contract after his initial deal expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Indiana still has an opening on the 15-man roster for another player, but that spot is expected to go to Lance Stephenson, who is likely to re-signed for the rest of the season after his 10-day deal expired Tuesday. Anderson, meanwhile, entered the protocols Friday and will likely report to the G League's Fort Wayne Mad Ants once he's asymptomatic of the virus. He appeared in three games during his brief stint with Indiana, averaging 2.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 10.3 minutes.
