Best Virginia Officially Announces TBT Return of Erik Stevenson
To confirm the news WV Sports Now broke on Monday, Erik Stevenson will make his return to the TBT to play for Best Virginia again this summer.
Stevenson has most recently pivoted success in the NBA’s G League to an opportunity with the Washington Wizards.
In his TBT debut in 2023, Stevenson averaged 12.5 points and seven rebounds per game. For the moment still remembered to this day, Stevenson hit the game-winning shot in the opening roundand then pointed to his WVU coach Bob Huggins in the crowd. This gesture from Stevenson came on the heels of Huggins’ exit from West Virginia after multiple scandals put an abrupt end to his Hall of Fame career.
Stevenson wrapped up his final year of eligibility at West Virginia during the 2022-23 season, helping the Mountaineers return to the NCAA Tournament in March. Stevenson averaged 15.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists on 43 percent shooting from the field. The fifth-year senior played his best towards the end of the year, recording five straight 20-point-plus games at the end of February.
