On March 22, Beijing time, the Hornets successfully defeated the Pelicans at home 106:103 in the regular season, and the Hornets' starting players had a good data performance, and the 4 starters were recorded in the double score data. In the team's bench, Thomas Jr. also got 14 minutes of playing time in this game, and in the end, Thomas Jr. contributed 15 points and 1 assist on 5-of-9 shooting, shooting 55.6%, and his scoring data ranked best among the players who came off the bench.
In addition, according to the news of NBA fame Shams, due to the excellent personal performance after joining the team, the Hornets also officially decided to sign Thomas Jr. until the end of the season. Unlike the previous 10-day short-term player contract, Thomas Jr. has finally gotten a formal NBA player contract. As a former NBA league All-Star, Thomas Jr. has played for the Lakers and Lone Rangers this season, but these teams only offer 10-day short contracts, so Thomas Jr. has been adrift in the league.
It is worth mentioning that the hornets' current regular season record is 37 wins and 35 losses, and the team's Eastern Conference record list is 9th, which means that the Hornets have a play-off place. And if Thomas Jr. can finally perform in the playoffs, and help the Hornets step onto the playoff stage, and even recreate the data performance of the Green Kai era in the playoffs, I believe that Thomas Jr. will no longer need to worry about his player contract. For Thomas Jr., this signing with the Hornets is undoubtedly an opportunity to prove himself again.
In this regard, Thomas Jr. was also the first to speak out through personal social media: "God is still there!" Never give up! Be patient and polish! "But there is a saying, now 33-year-old Thomas Jr. is definitely entering the end of his career, so now Thomas Jr. don't expect tens of millions of dollars in salary, a truckload of banknotes has long ceased to belong to him, at this time, even if Thomas Jr. performs well on the court, according to his personal height, his own age, and playing ability, basically at most he can get a guarantee contract for a basic salary player, and this is probably the most perfect career ending that Thomas Jr. can achieve!
