Strategic Move
The Memphis Grizzlies have secured the services of forward Lamar Stevens for the remainder of the 2024–25 NBA season. This latest addition follows his standout performance in the G League, where his production and physical play stood out.
G League Breakout
During his stint with the Motor City Cruise, Stevens played significant minutes and showcased his scoring ability by averaging nearly 18 points per game along with around 7 rebounds, complemented by contributions in assists, steals, and blocks. His efficient shot selection and high motor on defense made him a valuable asset in the league, earning him the opportunity to return to the NBA.
A Resilient Journey
Though not drafted in 2020 out of Penn State, Stevens has steadily built his career in the league. His perseverance has led him to accumulate valuable experience across several teams, where his performance, even in limited minutes, has consistently provided a spark off the bench. His journey is a testament to overcoming initial setbacks and continuing to contribute at a high level.
On-Court Impact
Recent game performances have underscored Stevens’ ability to make a significant impact when given playing time. In a recent outing, he produced 17 points, secured 6 rebounds, added 2 assists, and registered a block in just 23 minutes. His ability to perform efficiently, combined with his strong defensive efforts and scoring touch, highlights the depth he brings to the Grizzlies as they strive to maintain momentum through the season.
