On March 13, 2022, Beijing time, Mitch Kupcek, president and general manager of basketball operations at the Charlotte Hornets, announced today that the team has signed a second 10-day contract with guard Isaiah Thomas. In accordance with team policies, the terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Thomas Jr. played 13.8 minutes in the Hornets' 3 games, was able to get 9.7 points, 2 rebounds and 1.7 assists, shooting 43.5%, 42.9% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line.
It can be said that Thomas Jr. can still meet the team's expectations in these three games of the Hornets, although the playing time is not much, only 13.8 minutes, but he can contribute nearly 10 points per game, which is enough to prove that he helped the team on the offensive end of the court. While there may be some problems on the defensive end, as a substitute defender, it is already very good to be able to give the team enough help at one end!
Thomas Jr. had played for the Lakers and Lone Rangers this season, but neither team had left him in the end, and now by developing the league's outstanding performance, he has impressed the Hornets and has signed him a second contract, and in the current situation, Thomas Jr. still has a chance to stay in the Hornets until the end of the season!
In previous games, teammates and coaches have a very high evaluation of Thomas Jr., and he can not only help his teammates on the court, but also play a very important role in the locker room, leaving such a veteran is definitely not a loss for the Hornets!
