Prior to this, Stephenson joined the Hawks on a 10-day short contract, but did not perform well, averaging only 1.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, and signed a 10-day short contract with the Pacers after the contract expired, which was also the third time in his career to play for the Pacers, expecting Stephenson to play a better performance next.
