At the same time, Thomas Jr. also posted a lot of game clips, and it can be seen that he has been cheering himself up and hoping to occupy a place in the NBA.
In addition, Thomas Jr. also posted a photo of his wife, the two were married in 2016 and now have 4 children.
It has to be said that for Thomas Jr., the road back to the NBA is too bumpy. Since playing three games for the Pelicans last season, Thomas Jr. faded out of the NBA. If it were not for the outbreak of the new crown that caused most of the NBA teams to be short of manpower, I am afraid that he would have a hard time getting the opportunity to return to the NBA.
In four games for the Lakers, Thomas Jr. averaged 25.3 minutes per game, averaging 9.3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting 30.8 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from three-point range.
