The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Thursday that they have signed forward Stanley Johnson to an another 10-day contract.
The Lakers originally signed Johnson to a 10-day contract via the NBA’s Hardship Exception and the forward immediately showed how he could be an asset to the team.
The move comes as no surprise given how Johnson looked in his first stint with the Purple and Gold. In five appearances, Johnson averaged 6.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in about 25 minutes a game while providing tough and physical perimeter defense.
Working in the Lakers’ favor is that if Johnson continues to play well they will be able to sign him to an additional 10-day contract before having to decide whether or not to sign him for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
