Lance Stephenson signed a second (and final) standard 10-day with the Pacers after his first expired today. It will run through Feb. 2, and then the front office must decide whether to sign him to a rest-of-season contract.
That’s a week before the trade deadline. – 1:23 PM

Suns own the best record in the NBA & were in control the entire way. Beat the Pacers 113-103 for season sweep.

Lance Stephenson having his best game on this 10-day contract, which expires Sunday. He has a team-high 15pts.

Scott Agness: Lance Stephenson signed a 10-day contract today. Since the Pacers no longer have any players in protocols, the hardship exception is no longer an option. And so he now counts against the salary cap. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / January 14, 2022
Chris Haynes: Indiana Pacers are signing Lance Stephenson to a second 10-day hardship contract, league sources tell @YahooSports. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / January 11, 2022
Marc Stein: The Pacers are expected to keep Lance Stephenson for the rest of the season, league sources say, thanks to his very strong play in this third Indiana stint that has won admiration from Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. Stephenson has one day left on his initial Indiana hardship deal. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / January 9, 2022
