The Lakers previously lost 92-110 to the Timberwolves, although the team suffered a loss, but Isaiah Thomas's performance became the highlight of the scene, he came off the bench for 22 minutes in the Lakers debut, 5 of 12, 6 of 6 three-pointers, 7 of 9, got 19 points and 2 rebounds, in the aftermath, Thomas Jr. also expressed his gratitude to the fans on social media, in his view, these encouragement became his driving force.

Due to multiple triggers for health and safety agreements, coupled with the absence of injured people, the Lakers, who lacked major generals, previously used difficult exceptions and signed a 10-day short contract with Thomas Jr., giving him a chance to return to the NBA.

The "Little Assassin" did seize this opportunity, in the game against the Timberwolves, despite the team's fiasco, Thomas Jr. played a dazzling performance, his body and competitive state looked very good, in the moment when the team fell into passivity, Thomas Jr. stood up again and again to score, injecting energy into the Lakers on the offensive end.

Afterwards, Thomas Jr. also expressed his gratitude to the fans on social media. "I'm so grateful that your love for me won't go unnoticed, which allows me to move on #Slow grinding.")

Over the past few seasons, Thomas Jr. has been more of an NBA passerby, always disappearing from sight after a brief stint on a team. In this year's offseason, there was news that the Lakers may sign Thomas Jr., but they eventually chose Rondo. The little assassin did not give up, he actively trained while maintaining this love of basketball. On the other hand, he constantly spoke out on social media, expressing his desire to return to the NBA. Just before signing with the Lakers, Thomas Jr. just got a super stat of 42 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the development league.

It is undeniable that height is the innate shortcoming of Thomas Jr., and the height of 1 meter 75 makes him easy to become a loophole in the opponent's attack on the defensive end, but Thomas Jr. has long proved his scoring ability, and he can stand up at some point to play the role of X factor, to play the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, and to bring help to the team.

When the NBA teams are fully staffed, Thomas Jr. may not be able to get a chance, but with the spread of the epidemic, the situation has changed again, there are more than 90 players in the league to trigger health and safety agreements, and a large number of teams are in a shortage of manpower, which also provides new opportunities for players like Thomas Jr. to show their value in the NBA.

Thomas is now more down-to-earth, he understands what role he should play in the team, the future prospects of the little assassin are unknown, but at least, he has opened another door for himself with positive performance and hard work.
