With a highlight performance in the development league, Thomas Jr. received a call from Lakers GM Pelinka and returned to the NBA as desired, the two sides finalized a ten-day short contract, although Thomas Jr. failed to help the Lakers achieve a victory, but he conquered the fans with full passion.
The eager Lakers did not choose to keep Thomas Jr., so he accepted the invitation of the Lone Ranger and began a second ten-day short contract, during which Thomas Jr. worked hard, but still could not get a regular contract.
