Former Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson will be suiting up in a new area code next season. Stephenson has signed a three-year, $27 million deal to play for the Charlotte Hornets.
The deal, which includes a team option for the third season, was signed early Wednesday morning after Hornets owner Michael Jordan, general manager Rich Cho, head coach Steve Clifford and associate head coach Patrick Ewing met with Stephenson and his representatives Tuesday night in Las Vegas.
Welp, no more “gold swagger,” maybe Jordan can teach Lance some better in-game distraction techniques that won’t end up as a meme.
Congratulations Lance.
