Available Friday Stephenson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Probable against Pistons Stephenson (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against Detroit.

Impact Stephenson returned from a two-game absence during Wednesday's win over the Magic, and he logged seven points and a rebound in 13 minutes. Although he continues to deal with his left ankle sprain, it appears likely that he'll be able to play through the issue once again Friday.

Small role in return Stephenson (ankle) played 13 minutes in Wednesday's 122-114 win over the Magic, finishing with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound.

Impact Stephenson was back in action after missing the Pacers' previous two games, but he took on a minimal role in Indiana's rotation after playing no fewer than 19 minutes in any of his four appearances prior to suffering the ankle injury. The 31-year-old looks as though he'll be one of the big losers from Malcolm Brogdon's recent return from an extended absence due to an Achilles' injury, and Stephenson's role could diminish further once Chris Duarte (toe) is healthy again.

Small role off bench in return Stephenson closed Wednesday's 122-114 overtime victory over Orlando with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 13 minutes.

Impact Stephenson returned to action Wednesday following a two-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. With Malcolm Brogdon, Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield all available, the veteran forward played just 13 minutes off the bench. Stephenson's role figures to be reduced even more when Chris Duarte, who's missed four of the Pacers' last six games due to a toe issue, is healthy.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Wednesday Stephenson (ankle) will be available Wednesday against Orlando.

Impact After missing the previous two games with a sprained left ankle, Stephenson will be back in action Wednesday. Malcolm Brogdon, Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield are the likely starters, but Stephenson will jockey for minutes alongside Duane Washington and Keifer Sykes. Across his last 10 games before the injury, Stephenson posted 11.9 points, 4.1 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per contest.

MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Wednesday Stephenson (ankle) is questionable Wednesday against the Magic.

Impact Stephenson has missed the past two games with a sprained ankle. More information on his availability may emerge once he goes through morning shootaround and/or pregame warmups.

MARCH 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Monday, as expected Stephenson (ankle) won't play Monday against the Magic.

Impact Stephenson was labeled doubtful for Monday's contest, so it's hardly a surprise he won't be suiting up in Orlando. The veteran guard's next chance to take the court will come Wednesday in a rematch with the Magic.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Monday's contest Stephenson (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's contest against the Magic.

Impact Stephenson picked up the ankle injury during Friday's loss to the Thunder and was subsequently sidelined for Sunday's win over the Celtics. With the veteran forward trending towards a second straight absence and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) resting the second half of a back-to-back, Chris Duarte (toe), Keifer Sykes and Duane Washington are all candidates for increased roles Monday.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Stephenson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Celtics, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Stephenson picked up an ankle injury during Friday's loss to the Thunder and will be sidelined for at least one contest. Chris Duarte -- who is returning to action following a three-game absence due to a toe injury -- will likely assume the majority of Stephenson's minutes.

FEBRUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Celtics Stephenson is questionable for Sunday's game against Boston due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Stephenson had a relatively normal workload in Friday's loss to the Thunder, and he logged 14 points, four assists, three rebounds, a steal and a block in 28 minutes off the bench. If he's unable to play Sunday, Terry Taylor and Oshae Brissett could see additional playing time.

Lance Stephenson's clutch 3 not enough as Thunder outlast Pacers After missing 15 straight games due to a sore right Achilles, Brogdon returned to the starting lineup Friday against the Thunder

Stuffs stat sheet Stephenson ended Wednesday's 113-108 win over Washington with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes.

Impact The Pacers' operated an eight-man rotation on Wednesday, yielding plenty of usage for Stephenson. Stephenson's playing time has fluctuated rapidly of late, which makes him tough to trust on a weekly basis, but he's a versatile contributor and can be a solid nightly option in softer matchups.

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 21 off bench Stephenson registered 21 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 129-120 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Stephenson has played in every game -- 28 straight -- since joining the team just before Christmas, but on most nights he sees 12-to-16 minutes off the bench, so he hasn't been fantasy relevant. For the most part, that likely won't change going forward, though with Chris Duarte (toe), who departed Sunday's contest early in the first quarter, out the next two games, Stephenson could be looking at increased minutes heading into the break. The man they call "Born Ready" can be very hit-or-miss when it comes to fantasy, however, so stream him at your own risk.

Shifts to bench Stephenson will come off the bench Friday against the Cavaliers.

Impact After a one-game stint in the starting five, the veteran will head back to the bench as the Pacers debut a new starting five. Stephenson should still play a meaningful role in the rotation.

Flirts with triple-double in start Stephenson finished with 24 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 loss to the Hawks.

Impact With the Pacers' blockbuster trade pending, Stephenson drew his first start of the season and didn't disappoint. The veteran forward registered at least 20 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for the first time this season, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Atlanta's high-powered offense. Stephenson's role is likely to decrease significantly when Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) are all available.

First start of season Tuesday Stephenson will start Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact With the Pacers down a myriad of players -- notably Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles), Caris LeVert (traded) and Domantas Sabonis (traded) -- Stephenson gets the nod for the first time all season. In the six games that he's seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 13.5 points, 6.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

Impact Stephenson originally joined Indiana on a 10-day contract Jan. 1, and he's remained with the team on subsequent 10-day deals over the past month. He's been a solid bench piece for the Pacers, and the team has now opted to keep him around for the rest of the campaign.

Lance Stephenson relishing second chance in return with Pacers

Exudes chaos Stephenson notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 158-126 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Stephenson has now combined for 38 points over his previous three games after compiling just 17 points across 69 minutes in a four-game span prior. Stephenson has been a good story, not to mention boom-able fantasy contributor, at times this season. The Pacers are in a free fall. With a looming youth movement on the horizon, Stephenson's rest-of-season upside could vary wildly depending on Indiana's trade deadline moves.

Plays well in loss Stephenson amassed 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Suns.

Impact Stephenson had slowed down over his past five games prior to Saturday, averaging only 3.4 points and 2.8 assists over 13.8 minutes. However, the veteran got hot offensively against the Suns, making seven of nine field-goal attempts to finish with his highest point total since Jan. 5. While Stephenson has shown that he still has something left in the tank, his playing time and production are too inconsistent to make him a viable fantasy asset.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains with Pacers Stephenson signed a 10-day contract with the Pacers on Friday.

Impact Stephenson had been with the Pacers on a pair of 10-day hardship deals since the start of January, but he'll now land a standard 10-day contract with the club. He's averaged 12.8 points, 5.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game across his six appearances with Indiana.

Poor shooting night Stephenson notched six points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Stephenson made a solid impact overall, even in limited minutes. The 31-year-old struggled with his shot, but was a respectable minus-2 during his time on the floor despite a lopsided scoreline. Malcolm Brogdon aggravated his achilles injury Wednesday, potentially repaving the way for an increased role for Stephenson.
