• Lance Stephenson: Joins Minnesota's affiliate

  12/11/2023 • By RotoWire

  Stephenson is planning to sign with the G League's Iowa Wolves on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Stephenson hasn't played in the NBA since 2021-22 when he re-joined the league under the NBA's COVID-related hardship exception. The last time he appeared in more than 50 games in a season was 2018-19 with the Lakers. Stephenson presumably has plans to get called up from the G League eventually, but the 10-year veteran will likely have to prove himself with Iowa first. In 2021-22, Stephenson averaged 19.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 12 appearances for the Grand Rapids Gold.

  04/02/2022 • By RotoWire

  Stephenson amassed 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and 11 assists over 22 minutes during Friday's 128-123 loss to the Celtics. The veteran guard has settled in nicely with a bench role for the rebuilding Pacers and while he can't be trusted in most fantasy formats, he's a decent play on DFS slates since he has the talent to have a big game out of nowhere. Stephenson has now scored in double digits in four of his last six games.

• Pacers' Lance Stephenson: Scores 25 points in 23 minutes

  03/25/2022 • By RotoWire

  Stephenson produced 25 points (10-15 FG, 5-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 133-103 loss to the Grizzlies. The Pacers were never really competitive in the contest, but that didn't stop Stephenson from putting together one of his best games of the campaign. The veteran knocked down all five of his three-point tries and went 10-for-15 from the field overall en route to a team-high 25 points. This was Stephenson's second-highest scoring game of the season, but it's more of an aberration than a trend since he came into the game averaging just 4.3 points over his previous six contests.

• Pacers' Lance Stephenson: Lance-a-lot of assists

  03/21/2022 • By RotoWire

  Stephenson notched two points (1-1 FG), six rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 129-98 victory over the Trail Blazers. Stephenson led the Pacers bench in minutes while leading the team in assists and steals. Seemingly relishing his facilitating, Stephenson was quiet offensively by his standards. The Pacers are a revolving door of rotation players, as the rebuilding franchise looks to give a multitude of guys looks. Stephenson will flash occasionally, but watching from a distance may be wise.
