Lance Stephenson: Joins Minnesota's affiliate
Lance 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.

Pacers' Lance Stephenson: Scores 25 points in 23 minutes
Lance 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 Indiana 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.

Lance Stephenson (ankle) posted five points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across 16 minutes Tuesday in the Indiana Pacers' 135-102 loss to the Grizzlies.Stephenson returned from a four-game absence, reclaiming a small role on the Pacers' second unit in the process.
