Beijing time on December 17th! Today, as the Lakers again have multiple players violating health and safety agreements, according to previous reports, the Lakers will use difficult exceptions to sign a 10-day short contract with free agent Isaiah Thomas.
Player Thomas Jr. retweeted the message via Twitter and wrote: "Thanks for giving me this opportunity to prove everyone wrong, let's get this done!" @Lakers"
It is worth mentioning that in the recent development league debut, Thomas Jr. played for the Nuggets development league affiliated teams, with 42 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and did not make a single mistake, which can be said to be very good. It is worth mentioning that Thomas Jr. played 17 times for the Lakers in the 2017-18 regular season.
In the 2020-21 regular season, Thomas Jr. played three times for the Pelicans, averaging 16.0 minutes per game, with 7.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
Previously, the Lakers officially announced the list of injuries for tomorrow's team to challenge the Timberwolves: Trevor Ariza (recovering from a right ankle injury), Kendrick Nunn (right kneecap injury), Taren Horton Tucker, Dwight Howard, Malik Munch, Russell Westbrook, Avery Bradley (health and safety agreement) absent from the game; Anthony Davis (left knee soreness), LeBron James (rectus abs strain) is likely to play.
Now, it's not known if Thomas will be able to catch up with tomorrow's team game. In fact, as early as the offseason, the Lakers had tried to train Thomas Jr., but it was not recognized at the time, this time, I don't know if Thomas Jr. can seize the opportunity to prove that he can still stand on the NBA stage.
