After the impact of the epidemic, many teams in the NBA are currently seriously understaffed, so they can only sign in the free agent market, which also gives many players the opportunity to return to the NBA, such as Thomas Jr., Joe Johnson, Chalmers and Lance Stephenson.

Stephenson
Today, from NBA reporter Shams, the Indiana Pacers signed Lance Stephenson to a short 10-day contract using a 10-day hardship exception. Stephenson will once again choose to wear the familiar No. 6 jersey, the third time in his career that he has worn the Pacers' jersey.
Stephenson signed a short 10-day contract with the Hawks last month, playing in six games for the Hawks during the contract period, except for his debut with 8 assists and 5 rebounds, the rest of the games were unsatisfactory. In an average of 11.7 minutes per game, he handed over a statistic of 1.8 points , 2.5 rebounds , and 1.8 assists , shooting only 38.5 percent from the field , shooting as low as 50 percent from the free throw line , and the sluggish state also led to the Hawks not renewing his contract again.
Stephenson was selected by the Pacers to enter the league in 2010, left the team after the rookie contract expired, and then went to the Hornets, Grizzlies and other teams, always unable to find their own positioning, and finally signed the Pacers again in 2017, joined the Lakers to assist James two years later, and the Lakers gradually faded out of the NBA vision before the expiration of the contract.
Now Steven is back in the Pacers, and the current Pacers warren, Duarte, Brogdon, Lamb and other main players can not play due to injury. The Pacers have a 14-22 record this season, 13th in the East, and team management has decided to screw up.
