The Wolves signed guard Lance Stephenson to a 10-day contract on Wednesday morning about nine hours before the team was scheduled to take on the Toronto Raptors.

According to head coach Tom Thibodeau, we could see Stephenson against the Raptors, although the Wolves won’t be able to run all the sets with him.

“We’ll see how it unfolds,” Thibodeau said after Wednesday’s shootaround. “We can have a package that he can run. It will be smaller, but it’s not unusual.”

You remember Stephenson from his days in Indiana when he was a defensive force and all-around solid player. His best season came in 2013-14 when he averaged 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game while leading the NBA with five triple-doubles.

Since then, he’s played for the Hornets, Clippers, Grizzlies and Pelicans.

His career averages are 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and three assists per game. He’s coming off of groin surgery, but passed his physical and is ready to roll.

“I actually feel good,” Stephenson said. “ . . . I’m just ready to play.”

It sounds weird saying that Stephenson is just 26 years old. It seems like he's been around forever, but he came into the league when he was 20 out of the University of Cincinnati.

Stephenson likes the look of the young and rising Wolves team and with Zach LaVine out for the season after tearing his ACL, he thinks he can contribute to the team.

“I think it’s a great opportunity,” Stephenson said. “I’ve seen the team and think there’s a lot of young, great players. I think I just come in with a veteran’s experience and help the team.”

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Target Center. The game will air on FOX Sports North.
