Lance Stephenson is back and up to his old herky jerky tricks

Welcome to the Lance Stephenson experience.

Lance Stephenson got his second 10-day contract of the season with the Timberwolves on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he hit the floor in Minneapolis against the Clippers ready to try and get back to the Lance he once was.

Back when Stephenson was with the Pacers, many fans would refer to him as Good Lance-Bad Lance. He got this nickname because he often did so many great things for the team, but would immediately find himself on the wrong end of a play. Tonight, we got exactly that.

He started the night with a fantastic pass on the fast break to Karl-Anthony Towns.

He even had a great drive and layup. This actually could have ended quite poorly but that’s part of the Lance experience.

But then Lance presumably tried to do too much, as he usually does, and it did not end well for him. It did not end well at all.

Stephenson’s first 10-day contract with the team was cut short due to an ankle sprain. It’s great to see that he’s back with the Wolves now, and hopefully can find a home there for the rest of the season. Let’s be honest, the NBA is better with a little bit of Lance Stephenson in it.
