CINCINNATI — Former Bearcats guard Lance Stephenson is making statements in his return to the Indiana Pacers. Stephenson dropped a 20-point quarter earlier this week and followed it up with 16 points, six rebounds, and a career-high 14 assists on Saturday.

The former Big East Rookie of the Year had been out of the league since 2019 before COVID call-ups from the G League afforded him a new chance. He's squeezing the most out of every moment.

Saturday's playmaking display against the Utah Jazz in a 125-113 win further proves that Stephenson, 31, is a different player at this stage of his career. Utah came into the game tied for fifth in defensive efficiency (105.1), but Stephenson carved them up with ease.

He's also bringing infectious energy to a Pacers team that needed a jolt.
