Lance Stephenson returning to the Pacers has energized more than the team and Lance himself. Pacers fans can’t get enough of the self-proclaimed “Born Ready.”
Now, he’s Born Again in Indy.
At the 4:09 mark of the first quarter of the Pacers’ home game against the Toronto Raptors Tuesday night, the fans gave Stephenson a standing ovation.

Stephenson anticipated a warm reception back home, saying several days ago that “It’s gonna probably be like Michael Jordan coming back to play…”
I asked Lance what he thinks Tuesday will be like…. His answer might be the most Lanciest thing ever: pic.twitter.com/DplfhkdXgv
