New York hoops writer, Adam Zagoria reports that Lance Stephenson appeared in Brooklyn Criminal Court this morning but his assault case was not heard. Instead the court date was moved to February 25th, 2011, according to Stephenson's attorney Alberto Ebanks.

The Indiana Pacers have been waiting for Stephenson's legal proceedings to run their course before determining what action they will take with regard to the 19-year-old rookie. I assume this doesn't change anything which means Stephenson will be on the roster for the bulk of the season at the very least.
