Former Celtics star Isaiah Thomas followed up his 42-point outburst in his G-League debut with more good news: A 10-day contract with the Lakers, per The Athletic‘s Shams Charania.
The Lakers signed Thomas under the hardship exception, given to teams who have at least four players sick or injured for longer than two weeks.
Thomas told Charania in a video posted on Tuesday that he thought he was close to signing with the Lakers before Rajon Rondo was bought out in the preseason. Now he has a chance to prove he belongs.
