Rotoworld.com reported that Stephenson's groin injury isn't serious and he should be able to return to practice today. It's likely that he's been rested simply as a precautionary measure to ensure that he'll start the regular season at 100 percent. Stephenson could be an important piece to the puzzle this season, being that he is effective in scoring, rebounding and assists.
Stephenson is in his fifth NBA season and first with the Hornets. He averaged 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 78 games with the Pacers last season. The 24-year-old out of Cincinnati has career averages of 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 210 games.
