After an impressive debut, Stanley Johnson is back on the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers announced Thursday that they’ve signed the former Arizona standout to a second 10-day contract as the team deals with COVID-related roster shortages.
Johnson signed a previous 10-day deal with the Lakers on Christmas Eve and averaged 6.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 25 minutes across five games. Johnson made three starts during that span.
The Lakers waited until January 6 to bring Johnson back on board because they couldn’t use the NBA’s hardship allowance to re-sign him right away.
