The 33-year-old has 11 NBA seasons under his belt, including a six-game stint with Minnesota during the 2016-17 season.
He’s had three stints with the Indiana Pacers while also playing for rthe Charlotte Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks.
Most recently, Stephenson played four games for Leones de Ponce in Puerto Rico, where he averaged 20.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 31.3 minutes per game.
Stephenson was in Las Vegas on Saturday for the In-Season Tournament championship game. He recorded a video rooting for the Pacers against the Lakers that the Pacers posted to the team account on X.
Minnesota has an open roster spot so what they decided to do with Stephenson will be interesting.
