Former Bearcats Guard Lance Stephenson Logs Another Triple-Double in G League

Stephenson and Isaiah Thomas carried the Grand Rapids Gold on Wednesday.

CINCINNATI — Former Bearcats basketball player Lance Stephenson is having a strong G League season for the Grand Rapids Gold. He was all over the stat sheet on Wednesday night, posting 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Grand Rapids fell 131-127 to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, but Stephenson and former NBA all-star Isaiah Thomas (42 points, eight assists, six rebounds) did all they could.

On the year, Stephenson is averaging 19.7 PPG, 8.1 RPG, and 3.9 APG for Grand Rapids as he tries to make his way back into the NBA. The 31-year old last played NBA basketball in 2019 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Stephenson left UC after one season to start his NBA career, but there's no doubt he would've been a legendary Bearcat. He was the 2009-10 Big East Rookie of the Year and led all Big East freshmen in scoring (12.3 PPG).

The guard was a 2009 McDonald's All-American and scored 22 points against Xavier in his lone Crosstown Shootout appearance.
