Last year, Stevens signed with the Boston Celtics and averaged 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in the 19 games he played. During last season’s trade deadline, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies and had the best season in his NBA career. He averaged 11.5 points and five rebounds in the 19 games he played with the Grizzlies.
