It is happening: Lance Stephenson is returning to the Indiana Pacers. Adam Zagoria reported the news first.
Yes, after a few years of people asking “Are the Indiana Pacers going to bring Lance Stephenson back?”, we finally don’t have to answer that question anymore.
It appears Godney Stuckey died so Lance Stephenson could be Born Ready again.
Either way, this is, for lack of a better word, interesting, if for no other reason than it is a three-year deal. It is only $4 million a season so it should have minimal impact on Indiana’s ability to sign free agents, but Stephenson’s last contract was a 10-day one, and he was cut after an injury earlier this season.
