Former Pacers star reveals bombshell information about his departure from team

Ex-Indiana Pacers player Lance Stephenson claims he was forced out by management

Stephenson, who played for the Pacers from 2010 to 2014 and again in 2017-18, made the allegations in an interview with The Athletic. He said that he was told by management that he was not wanted and that he would not be re-signed after the 2017-18 season.

Stephenson said that he was "blindsided" by the news and that he felt like he was being "thrown away." He also said that he was hurt by the way he was treated by the Pacers, who he said he considered to be his family.

The Pacers have not commented on Stephenson's allegations.

Stephenson's departure from the Pacers was a surprise to many

He was one of the team's most popular players and was a key member of the team's playoff run in 2013. However, he was also known for his off-court antics, which included a suspension for marijuana use in 2014.

Stephenson's departure from the Pacers came after a disappointing season for the team. The Pacers finished with a 48-34 record and missed the playoffs.

Stephenson's allegations could damage the Pacers' reputation

The Pacers are one of the most respected teams in the NBA. However, Stephenson's allegations could damage the team's reputation. The allegations could also make it more difficult for the Pacers to attract free agents in the future.

The Pacers are scheduled to open the 2022-23 season on October 19 against the Washington Wizards.
