Today, the NBA heard a surprising news: the Charlotte Hornets made another signing for Isaiah Thomas.
This is Thomas Jr.'s third return to the NBA this season, still on a short 10-day contract, but it means a lot to him. This season, the NBA has a lot of players triggered health and safety agreements, and many teams have not been able to get players to play, so they can sign some players who have been eliminated by the NBA.
Thomas Jr. got a chance at that time, signing 10-day contracts with the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. However, after the two teams, Thomas Jr. still failed to get a stable long contract and could only become a free agent again.
Recently, Thomas Jr. has not played in Europe, and he has returned to the NBA's development league to play for the Denver Nuggets' subordinate teams. In three games, Thomas Jr. averaged 41.3 points per game and won the Development League's Player of the Week award. Such a wonderful performance finally made the NBA team pay attention to him again, this time the Hornets.
The Hornets signed Thomas Jr. also to enhance the scoring ability of the rotation lineup a little, as to whether it will be renewed, it depends on Thomas Jr.'s next performance.
As a player with a height of only 175 centimeters, Thomas Jr. is already very inspirational to make a name for himself in the NBA, not to mention that he has been in the All-Star Regular Game lineup. Now Thomas Jr. is struggling, but only because he has been seriously injured, and his physical fitness is no better than before the injury.
Regardless of what happens next, Thomas Jr. will at least be able to perform himself in the NBA again, and that's the most important thing.
