Lamar Stevens Latest News
Let go by Detroit
The Pistons waived Stevens on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Despite signing a training camp contract with Detroit, Stevens was unable to make the regular-season roster. He will enter the 2024-25 season as a free agent.
Heading to Detroit
Stevens agreed to a training camp contract with the Pistons on Thursday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports. Stevens spent the 2023-24 season with the Celtics and Grizzlies, averaging 7.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game over 38 regular-season appearances between the two clubs. He missed the final two games of the regular season due to a groin injury, but it seems unlikely that the issue will hinder him to begin camp as he competes for a roster spot with the Pistons.
Won't suit up Sunday
Stevens (groin) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets. Stevens will sit out for a second straight game to end his regular season. He saw ample playing time for the Grizzlies down the stretch due to several injuries on the roster, and he made the most of his opportunities. In 19 appearances, Stevens averaged 11.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 three-pointers.
Ruled out for Friday
Stevens is out for Friday's game against the Lakers due to left groin soreness. The Grizzlies have pretty much an entire roster sidelined due to injuries, and Stevens is the latest addition to this long list. Groin injuries can be complicated, so it remains to be seen if Stevens will be available for the season finale against the Nuggets on Sunday in a game where Memphis has nothing to play for.
Swats four shots in loss
Stevens recorded 16 points (4-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 loss to the Cavaliers. Stevens returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after missing the last two games with a groin injury. He matched a career high with four blocks and tied Trey Jemison in that category in the loss. Stevens has played 20-plus minutes in each of his last nine games and has averaged 11.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals over that span.
Starting Wednesday
Stevens (groin) will start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Stevens has been cleared to suit up and will join the starting lineup for the first time since March 2. He's made two starts this season, totaling 15 points, six rebounds, four steals and two blocks in 31 minutes.
Gets green light
Stevens (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. Stevens missed the last two games due to a groin injury but will return to action Wednesday. With the Grizzlies shorthanded, Stevens should garner 20-plus minutes off the bench.
Listed as questionable
Stevens (groin) is questionable for Wednesday against the Cavaliers. Stevens has missed the past two games for Memphis, but the questionable tag suggests that he's considered day-to-day. If Stevens is able to play, he could see a healthy workload after the Grizzlies dressed just eight players Tuesday against the Spurs.
Won't play against Spurs
Stevens (groin) will not play against the Spurs on Tuesday. No surprise here, as Stevens was considered doubtful prior to this update. Along with several others, it wouldn't be a shock if Stevens didn't make another appearance this season.
