Grizzlies' Lamar Stevens: Sticking around in Memphis
Rotowire
The Grizzlies will sign Stevens to a contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 season once his 10-day contract expires, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Stevens is on his second 10-day deal with the Grizzlies, and he's performed well enough to warrant a longer contract. The 27-year-old wing has appeared in six games for Memphis and is averaging 4.0 points and 3.0 rebounds across 9.8 minutes. While he likely won't garner a large enough role to be fantasy relevant, Stevens will provide some additional depth and defensive expertise to the Grizzlies' bench.

Grizzlies' Lamar Stevens: Very productive off bench
Rotowire
Stevens ended with 13 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Suns.
This was Stevens' best performance with the Grizzlies, as he stepped up with the team missing several key rotation players who were held out with injuries and rest purposes. Stevens' second 10-day contract will be expiring after March 12, however, and it will be interesting to see if the franchise attempts to sign him to a standard deal.

Grizzlies' Lamar Stevens: Gets another 10-day deal
Rotowire
Memphis signed Stevens to a second 10-day contract Monday.
Stevens made one appearance during his initial 10-day stint with the Grizzlies, recording six points and four rebounds over 16 minutes in Saturda'y's 130-128 loss to the Spurs. The Grizzlies were without multiple key rotation players for that contest, so playing time will likely be more difficult to come by for Stevens when Memphis is at closer to full strength.

Lamar Stevens: Headed for free agency
Rotowire
Stevens became a free agent Monday after his 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Memphis will have the option of re-signing Stevens to a second 10-day deal, but it's unclear if the Grizzlies intend to go that route or bring aboard another player to fill his spot on the 15-man roster. After signing with Memphis on Feb. 21, Stevens made his lone appearance for the Grizzlies in the team's most recent game Saturday, logging 16 minutes in a 130-128 loss to the Spurs and finishing with six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds.

Pistons' Lamar Stevens: Heading to Detroit
Rotowire
Stevens agreed to a training camp contract with the Pistons on Thursday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Stevens spent the 2023-24 season with the Celtics and Grizzlies, averaging 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game over 38 regular-season appearances between the two clubs. He missed the final two games of the regular season due to a groin injury, but it seems unlikely the issue will hinder him during camp as he competes for a roster spot with the Pistons.
Stevens (groin) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.
Stevens will sit out for a second straight game to end his regular season. He saw ample playing time for the Grizzlies down the stretch due to several injuries on the roster, and he made the most of his opportunities. In 19 appearances, Stevens averaged 11.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Stevens is out for Friday's game against the Lakers due to left groin soreness.
The Grizzlies have pretty much an entire roster sidelined due to injuries, and Stevens is the latest addition to the long list. Groin injuries can be complicated, so it remains to be seen if Stevens will be available for the season finale against the Nuggets on Sunday in a game for which Memphis has nothing to play for.
