And if… Lance Stephenson was coming back to the NBA? Nothing very concrete at the moment, but the former Pacers fanatic back is getting closer to the Big League, since Hoopshype indicates that he reached an agreement with the Iowa Wolvesthe franchise of G-League affiliated with Minnesota Timberwolves.
Given that the Wolves still have a free place in their NBA squad, the performances of the now 33-year-old player could possibly allow him to return to the upper floor.
Last NBA game in April 2022
As a reminder, Lance Stephenson has not been seen in the NBA since April 2022, and his third stint in Indiana (8.3 points, 3.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds).
In his career, he displays almost the same statistics: 8.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists on average in some 600 games played under the colors of the Pacers, but also of the Hornets, the Clippers, the Grizzlies, the Pelicans, the Lakers and the Hawks. Without forgetting those of Wolves, already, during 2016/17.
Last season, “Born Ready” played in Puerto Rico and, during the summer, he then appealed to the leaders of Brooklyn and New York. Without success, but those in Minnesota could perhaps revive it.
