Free agent forward Lamar Stevens has signed with Paris Basketball, the team announced today in a press release.
Stevens, who went undrafted out of Penn State in 2020, will be competing in Europe for the first time after spending his first five professional seasons in the NBA and G League. He has made 220 total regular season appearances for Cleveland, Boston, and Memphis, averaging 5.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game during that stretch, with a .463/.287/.726 shooting line.
Stevens spent much of last season with the Motor City Cruise in the G League before catching on with the Grizzlies after the All-Star break, first on a pair of 10-day deals and then on a rest-of-season contract.
The 28-year-old had a very limited role in his first 16 outings with Memphis, logging 118 total minutes, but got extended run in the team’s regular season finale — he scored a career-high 31 points on 14-of-25 shooting in 36 minutes in a blowout win over Dallas on the final day of the season before becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Stevens will be joining a Paris Basketball squad that is coming off the most successful season in its seven-year history. The club won its first domestic championship in France’s top basketball league (LNB Élite) in 2024/25 and made the postseason in its first year in the EuroLeague.
