Just when you think there is some Pacers glory to bask in–i.e. last week’s trade for Darren Collison–the other shoe drops.
That shoe is Lance Stephenson and his arrest for assault on a woman, said to be his girlfriend, in New York City yesterday. Allegedly he threw her down a flight of stairs. Read more about it on Indy Cornrows, Eight Points Nine Seconds, and the Indy Star.
Naturally, Stephenson had been part of the Pacers’ recent good news, since he lit up the summer league, demonstrating abilities far above the typical mid 2nd round. However, Stephenson had a history of trouble and that history continues. Should be interesting to see how this gets handled by Larry Bird. (Note: Is the blurry photo indicative of how quickly Stephenson may be disappearing from Indianapolis?)
