Lamar Stevens is heading to Paris.
If it's the last game he ever played in the NBA, Lamar Stevens delivered a good one.
On the final day of the 2024-25 regular season, Stevens took the floor for the Memphis Grizzlies and delivered a career outing. He dropped 31 points on 14-for-25 shooting.
Now, the 28-year old forward is heading overseas. Paris Basketball announced that they have signed Stevens to a contract.
The former Penn State star will be going to Europe for the first time. Since going undrafted in 2020, he has bounced between the NBA and G League.

Stevens has played NBA minutes for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Grizzlies.
In 2025 after the All-Star break, Stevens played in 17 games for Memphis.
It's a good time to join Paris Basketball, which won its first-ever domestic title last season.
Stevens could try and parlay a strong performance in the French league and the EuroLeague into a return to the NBA. He proved, even if just for one game, that he might have what it takes. But for now, he's off to Paris.
