Looking for silver linings here, but Lance Stephenson and C.J. Miles getting back in the NBA is pretty fun! – 11:14 AM

Quality game from Lance Stephenson tonight: 20 pts (9-12 FG’s), 10 rebs, 4 asts. Have to think he’s on a lot of team’s short lists for a call-up right now.
– Petr Cornelie: 17 pts, 9 rebs
– Mario Chalmers: 4 pts (1-13 FG’s, 0-8 3FG’s)
– Shabazz Muhammad: 8 pts, 5 rebs – 7:59 PM

A Jose Alvarado vs. Lance Stephenson matchup is exactly what we needed for this G League game.
Competitive and certainly a little chippy. – 6:10 PM

Grand Rapids Gold just tipped off vs. Birmingham Squadron. Gold is starting Lance Stephenson, Mario Chalmers, Manny Camper, Trevor John and Petr Cornelie, who the Nuggets just sent down. – 6:07 PM

I believe this is the first game Mario Chalmers and Lance Stephenson have played together since they were teammates with us in Memphis in 2016. – 9:05 PM

It’s the highly touted G League Ignite against the @NBAGrandRapids Superteam starring Lance Stephenson, Mario Chalmers, Nik Stauskas and the freshly signed Shabazz Mohammad — and coached by Jason Terry — here at the @nbagleague Showcase in Las Vegas.

Last game of this trip for me: Ignite taking on a Grand Rapids team featuring a slew of NBA vets including Lance Stephenson, Mario Chalmers, Nik Stauskas and Shabazz Muhammad. Should be an interesting test for the young guys. pic.twitter.com/Ndyd19yaiX – 8:52 PM

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Former lottery pick Shabazz Muhammad is joining @NBAGrandRapids for the @nbagleague Showcase in Las Vegas, league sources say.
Muhammad thus teams with Lance Stephenson, Mario Chalmers and Coach Jason Terry against the G League Ignite tonight.
