On December 19, Beijing time, according to the famous Chalania report, two-time NBA championship guard Mario Chalmers will sign the Denver Nuggets' G League team Grand Rapids Gold Nuggets, And Chalmers is expected to participate in the G League parade on December 20-23, hoping to get the opportunity to return to the NBA.
The 35-year-old Was the 34th pick in the second round in 2008, and he played in 646 regular-season games in his career, averaging 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and won two NBA championships during his time with the Heat. Chalmers has been saying goodbye to the NBA for years, and his last appearance in the NBA dates back to the 2017-18 season, when he played for the Grizzlies, averaging 7.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Later, Chalmers had no ball to play and went to join the BIG3 league.
It is worth mentioning that Thomas Jr. signed a contract with the Grand Rapids Gold Nuggets before joining the Lakers. He only played one game there, blasted down 42 points, and was quickly called up by the Lakers. The Lakers triggered a health-safety agreement with multiple players, which also gave Thomas Jr. a chance. In the first game after signing the Lakers, Thomas Jr. scored a team-high 19 points off the bench and was in good shape.
Chalmers is likely to want to repeat Thomas Jr.'s return to the NBA, which should be more difficult for him who has been away from the NBA for a longer time. Lakers reporter Harrison Fagan updated the social media, writing: "Like IT (Thomas Jr.), Charmos also tried to join the Lakers in the summer. "Now that many teams in the NBA are in a personnel crisis, can Chalmers seize the opportunity that belongs to him?
