Yesterday, Lance Stephenson autographed a LeBron James Miami Heat jersey at his meet and greet, so of course I asked him about it:
“I guess (the fan) was making a joke out of it, but I played with LeBron so we ain’t got beef no more.” 😂😂 #Pacers pic.twitter.com/5cK26RqiGC1:49 PM

If that was Lance Stephenson’s last #Pacers home game, he gave the fans a lot to remember indystar.com/story/sports/n… via @indystar7:52 PM

Nothing is certain, but if that was Lance Stephenson’s curtain call w/ #Pacers fans, he went out only the way he could — giving everything.
“(Our bond) make me really wanna cry b/c it shows how much they love how I play and what I bring to the table.” indystar.com/story/sports/n…12:02 PM

Lance Stephenson on his bond w/ #Pacers fans:
“It make me really wanna cry b/c it shows how much they love how I play and what I bring to the table.”
Stephenson autographed and gave away a bunch of gear, including his game-worn jersey, after Indiana’s last home game.

Sixers are raining 3s and now lead 71-53 over the #Pacers. Lance Stephenson is cooking, though. He has a team-high 10 points. – 8:01 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Sixers are 8/10 from deep this quarter. They’re on fire, and they have extended the lead to 18. Stephenson is currently the Pacers only source of offense. – 7:59 PM

Lance Stephenson and TJ McConnell playing together will be something. First glimpse now. – 7:57 PM

Lance Stephenson thought he got an and-one, started shimming, but he actually hit Joel Embiid in the face on a drive and gets called for an offensive foul. #Pacers trail 54-46. – 7:53 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Lance Stephenson smacking Embiid in the head with his off-arm and then posing after the made layup like he had gotten the and-one call feels appropriate – 7:53 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
Embiid was hit in the face on Lance Stephenson’s layup attempt. The Pacers reserve guard was called for an offensive foul. The officials reviewed the play and didn’t give him a flagrant foul for hit Embiid. – 7:53 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Lance Stephenson scores a layup, gets an and-one and dishes an assist to Duane Washington Jr. for 3. #Pacers7:49 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Two nice drives and finishes from Lance Stephenson. The second finish was met by a wonderful shimmy. He will enjoy fan apprecaition night. – 7:48 PM

More on this storyline

Michael Scotto: Lance Stephenson wants to re-sign with the Indiana Pacers as a free agent this offseason, a league source close to Stephenson told HoopsHype. Whether Indiana goes into a full rebuild or retool, Lance believes he fits into either scenario. Ultimately, he wants to spend the rest of his career in Indiana, I’m told. -via HoopsHype / March 31, 2022
Scott Agness: Lance Stephenson has signed with the Pacers for the rest of the season, league source told @FieldhouseFiles. He previously was on two 10-day hardship contracts, then two standard 10-days. This is his third stint with the franchise. This is a rest-of-season contract, not a multi-year deal. So he’ll finish the season with the Pacers, then be a free agent. The Pacers had a roster spot available after waiving Kelan Martin on Jan. 6. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / February 3, 2022
