Beijing time on December 17
I woke up to a piece of good news
According to Shams
Free agent Isaiah Thomas finalized a signing with the Lakers
Congratulations to Thomas Jr. on his return to the NBA!
Soon Thomas Jr. also retweeted The Report of Little S
And the caption says:
"Thank you Lakers for giving me the opportunity to prove that everyone is wrong.
Let's open it up! ”
Only the source revealed
This is a 10-day contract signed through a difficult exception
Thomas Jr. had a regular season appearance in the 2017-18 season
Played 17 times for the Lakers
He also signed a 10-day contract with the Pelicans in the 2020-21 season
But it was not able to turn into a formal contract
Hopefully, I'll have the opportunity to stay in the league a little longer this time
Wait and talk about little Thomas
Let's start with the Lakers
Some fans may wonder why it is a difficult exception?
According to the famous Shams report source revealed
Westbrook also triggered the Health Safety Protocol!
It is not known whether the turtle is a close contact or positive
Hope is no big deal
It's harder
Except for Wei Shao
Bradley also triggered the COVID-19 deal
So far, the Lakers have 5 players triggered
They are the previous Munch, Tucker, and Howard
And today's Westbrook and Bradley!
Tomorrow at 11 a.m
The Lakers will take on the Timberwolves on the road
The pre-match team updated its injury report
Five of the players were unable to play because of the triggering of the safety protocol
Ariza (recovering from an ankle injury)
And Nunn (right kneecap bruise) will continue to be absent
Both James and Thick Brow are listed as high probability players
Thomas Jr. is likely to make his debut
The latest news
Munch has passed a health and safety agreement
I don't know if I can play tomorrow
According to salary expert Bobby Marks
The current situation
The Lakers have two difficulty exceptions to use
Some fans may ask
Why did the Lakers choose Thomas Jr. in the first place
All this can be said to be won by IT itself!
Last offseason
Thomas Jr. scored 81 points in a semi-professional league single game
This has once again brought him to the attention of the fan team
So he got some trial opportunities for some teams
Then he played games for team Usa
Both games scored 20+ and performed well
But I still couldn't get a formal contract
But Thomas Jr. didn't want to give up
The other day he announced his joining the Nuggets' Gold Team
Just yesterday on its debut
Little Thomas erupted again
He played 42 minutes
He shot 16-of-30 and 5-of-14 from three-point range
Get a game-high 42 points!
Plus 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals
Probably because of this performance
The first thing the Lakers think of is Thomas Jr
It's clear that neither point guard can play at the moment
Thomas Jr. is the best choice!
Lavin, who got the news, tweeted:
"My brother is back where he belongs!"
After Thomas Jr. slashed 42 points yesterday on his development league debut
Lavin also tweeted:
"Let him go back to the Alliance and hurry up"
It can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good
Also tweeting was Morant
It is worth mentioning
Stephenson is also on the Gold Team
Thomas Jr. made teammates in the Development League
Yesterday's game
The master and disciple also got a three-double stat of 18 points, 15 boards and 10 assists
Now Thomas Jr. has got his chance
The master and disciple could only wait silently
In a previous interview, Thomas Jr. said:
"If it weren't for Rondo's buyout
He is already a Lakers player
Of course I have a lot of respect for Rondo and the Lakers
If you can join the Lakers
Working with good players this season
That's an honor for me."
Now you're a Laker
Recently, the NBA outbreak broke out again
According to statistics as of now
Already, 63 NBA players have entered the health and safety agreement this season
47 new players were added in December alone!
Several teams have no one to play
You can only sign the point with difficult exceptions
The hardest is the Bulls
The team's match has been cancelled for the time being postponed
There's really no one left
According to sources:
The Coalition has begun to take a number of measures
To respond to this recent wave of outbreaks
Players who do not have injections of reinforcing needles
Tests must be taken on every matchday starting on Friday
The coalition is considering whether to allow it
Let the players test positive for COVID-19 but asymptomatic
Continue the game and avoid getting into the agreement
But it's not ready to be implemented yet
Life is bigger than basketball!
I still hope that the players can put health first
Finally, to the guys
The time had come for Ah Gui to stop testing Zhan Mei
Everyone felt that there was no Wei Shao
Will the Lakers play better?
Can Thomas Jr. get a formal contract?
