Lakers' Adou Thiero threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Dodgers
Adou Thiero was among a contingent of Los Angeles Lakers players who threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend at Dodger Stadium. Thiero was joined by teammates Deandre Ayton and Jake LaRavia on the mound as the Dodgers hosted the Toronto Blue Jays. The group was seen warming up prior to the game to prepare, and later posed for photos to celebrate the occasion. The offseason period is a great chance for incoming rookies to ingratiate themselves with their new teammates and the community. Thiero, Ayton and LaRavia are each new to the team, with the gathering representing a good opportunity to build chemistry off the court. Thiero was the 36th pick after averaging a career-high 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 steals on 54.5% shooting from the field in 27 games last season at Arkansas. He was tied for the most points on the team (407), despite missing eight games due to a left knee hyperextension. The 21-year-old missed summer league as he continued to recover from his knee injury. He has been in market for much of the offseason and was recently spotted working out at the team practice facility in preparation for his rookie campaign. Thiero reportedly agreed to sign a three-year, $5.95 million contract with the Lakers via the second-round pick exception. The team was excited to add him and is eager to get him back on the court.
