Despite his good will, Isaiah Thomas was not retained by the Lakers after his 10-Day Contract. A contrasting experience for the pixie, who reacted on Instagram with his usual rage to win.
4 small games, 4 losses, and already the end of the dream. After chasing a comeback for months or even years, Isaiah Thomas had his long-awaited chance under the Los Angeles spotlight. Unfortunately, this return to the Lakers was not really successful for IT, which will not have tasted victory and which produced rather light individual performances.
In 25.3 minutes on average per night, the former Celtics star has indeed compiled 9.3 points, 2 rebounds and only 1.5 assists per game. Where the shoe pinches is clearly on the percentages, which are quite catastrophic: 30.8% shooting including 22.7% at 3 points, and 72% from the free throw line …
End clap for Isaiah Thomas, and a classy reaction on the networks
Unsurprisingly, the Angelinos therefore made the decision to let Isaiah Thomas go free at the end of his 10 days, and to do not take him back to the purples and golds. As often in his career, IT took the news without making waves, and he cracked a sober and grateful message on social networks to his now ex-franchise:
Thanks to the Lakers for the opportunity. THE MARATHON CONTINUES ????
The marathon continues, yes, but where? According to several insiders, a few teams are interested in the prospect of signing Thomas, despite his complicated time at the Lakers. In this sense, the health situation will “benefit” the guard, since it could allow him to sign a new 10-day contract in a franchise affected by the virus.
One thing is certain: in his thirties now well packed, IT will have to be much more efficient if he has a new opportunity, otherwise the NBA will definitely shut the door in his face. A sentence that would break his heart, as everyone knows …
Isaiah Thomas said goodbye to the Lakers again, and probably for good this time around. With, surely, a little bitter taste in the mouth …
