Report: Stephenson open to reunion with Pacers

After bouncing around three different organizations over the past two seasons, Lance Stephenson is reportedly open to rejoining the franchise that launched his professional career.

The unrestricted free agent has discussed the possibility of signing a multi-year deal with the Indiana Pacers, a source told Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star, as he's open to a reunion with the team that drafted him 40th overall in 2010.

Stephenson averaged 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 78 games with the Pacers in 2013-14, helping him land a three-year, $27-million deal from the Charlotte Hornets.

The 25-year-old has failed to replicate that type of success since. He's averaged 8.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists over his last 130 games - split between the Hornets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Memphis Grizzlies - and has been traded twice.

Taylor notes that Stephenson is considering a few other teams in addition to the Pacers, and he has interest with re-signing in Memphis.
