On January 9, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season continued. Earlier today, Marc Stein reported that the Contract of the Lone Rangers and Thomas Jr. expires before Monday's game against the Bulls, and the Lone Rangers will also renew Thomas Jr.'s contract.
Sadly, Thomas Jr. made only one appearance for the Lone Rangers. In the Lone Ranger's 94-95 away loss to the Kings, Thomas Jr. played 13 minutes and had 6 points and 4 assists on 3-of-8 shooting. On the second day after this game, Thomas Jr. triggered a health and safety agreement and will have to quarantine, after which he was never given a chance to play for the Lone Rangers.
Before signing with the Lone Rangers, Thomas Jr. signed a 10-day contract with the Lakers, and in the four games he played, Thomas Jr. averaged 25.3 minutes per game, had 9.3 points, 2 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting 30.8% from the field and 22.7% from three-point range. Regrettably, Thomas Jr. returned to the NBA without a win, and in the 5 games he played, the Lakers and Lone Rangers totaled 0-5.
According to reports, in the 10-day contract signed with the Lone Rangers, Thomas Jr. received a total of 138019 DOLLARs. Earlier today, Thomas Jr. updated his social media, posting the dynamics of himself and his friends drinking, and then posted a very meaningful photo, which seemed to allude to resisting temptation, resisting pressure, and not getting lost in glory.
So far in his career, the 32-year-old Thomas Jr. has been named to the All-Star Team twice, once to the NBA All-Team Second Team, once to player of the month, and five times to the Player of the Week. He made a total of 532 appearances in the NBA, including 362 starts, averaged 28.8 minutes per game, had 18 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists, shooting 43.5% from the field and 36.2% from three-point range!
