Fort Wayne, IN, (November 2, 2011) - The Fort Wayne Mad Ants announced today that their 2010-11 team's leading scorer, Darnell Lazare, has signed a contract with the Mad Ants and the NBA Development League.
"We are obviously very excited to make the announcement that Darnell will be in a Mad Ants uniform again," said Mad Ants President Jeff Potter.

Lazare played in all 50 games for the Mad Ants last season and averaged 16.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. He recorded a season high 36 points against the Maine Red Claws on 1/1/11 and another 30 point performance against the Sioux Falls Skyforce on 4/2/11.
