On January 6, Beijing time, the NBA regular season is underway! In a game that ended yesterday, the Lakers beat the Kings 122-114 at home to make a three-game winning streak. The record became 20-19 and still ranked 7th in the West.
Yesterday's pre-match, the team excluded Stanley Johnson from the team's roster due to the expiration of the team's 10-day contract with Stanley Johnson, but at the pre-match press conference, Vogel mentioned more than once that the team would continue to keep the defensive fighter!
And just now, Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin released a message that the Lakers will continue to sign a 10-day short-term contract with Stanley Johnson! "The Lakers are likely to sign a 10-day contract (non-difficulty regulations) with big player Stanley Johnson on Thursday," he wrote. The Lakers recently signed a 10-day contract with 25-year-old Johnson outside of the Hardship Ordinance, during which time the Southern Californiaman played a major role with his ball-handling defense and toughness. ”
It can be seen that the Lakers have considerable recognition for Stanley Johnson! Salary expert Bobby Marks then replied with a tweet: "If Johnson signed two 10-day contracts and one for the rest of the season at the end of January and one for the rest of the season, then their salaries are no different from those of two-way players." The choice to sign a 10-day contract is mainly so that you can adjust the squad more flexibly. ”
So far, Stanley Johnson has played in 5 games for the Lakers, including 3 starts, averaging 25.2 minutes per game, scoring 6.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1 steal, 0.4 blocks, and shooting 45.8%!
