Former Celtics forward Lamar Stevens is headed overseas to continue his NBA career. Stevens signed with Paris Basketball for the upcoming season, the team announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stevens has played in a career 220 NBA games for the Cavaliers, Celtics and Grizzlies from 2020-25. He signed with the C\u2019s ahead of the 2023-24 season, playing in 19 games for Boston before getting traded to Memphis<\/a> in the Xavier Tillman deal. Now, he gets a chance to play overseas for more playing time. He\u2019s averaged 5.6 points and 2.9 rebounds per game throughout his career.<\/p>\n

The wing went undrafted in 2020 before getting picked up by the Cavaliers on a two-way contract. Stevens got a healthy amount of playing time in Cleveland, suiting up in 165 games over a three-year period. But since then, he\u2019s played in 55 games over the past two years as he hasn\u2019t gotten as much of an opportunity.<\/p>\n

Stevens started last season with the Pistons for training camp<\/a> before getting waived and playing in the G League. He was picked up by the Grizzlies for a pair of 10-day contracts then was signed for the rest of the season<\/a>. But the free agent didn\u2019t generate much NBA interest this summer as he ends up going to Paris Basketball.<\/p>\n
