Lance Stephenson played his first home since rejoining the Pacers and fans at Bankers Life Fieldhouse gave him a rousing reception.
This season, Stephenson has played six games with the Pelicans and six with the Timberwolves before making his return to the Indiana, where he spent the first four years of his NBA career. In the first game of his second stint wit the Pacers, the team was in Cleveland to face the Cavaliers.
On Tuesday, Stephenson returned to Indiana. Here’s video of the crowd’s reaction.

Stephenson had the best season of his career with the Pacers in 2013-2014. He posted averages of 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists. Stephenson also led the NBA with five triple-doubles.
The Pacers offered Stephenson five-year extension after that season, but he opted to go the free agent route and signed with the Bobcats. A few years later, Stephenson is back and it’s like he never left. He even provided this highlight reel play.
