After a summer marked by major exits—including standout guard T.J. Shorts heading to Panathinaikos and former head coach Tiago Splitter departing for the NBA—Paris is rapidly reshaping its roster.
Stevens is expected to be one of the central figures in this new chapter for the reigning French champions.
After going undrafted in 2020, the 2.01-meter forward signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers, later spending time with the Boston Celtics and Memphis Grizzlies. Most recently, he played in the NBA G League, where he averaged 17.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
Renowned for his physical style of play and strong defensive instincts, Stevens is expected to bring toughness and energy to Paris’s new-look rotation.
