Well-traveled two-time All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas is reportedly making his return to the NBA.
Thomas is fresh off an explosive 42-point performance in his debut for the Denver Nuggets’ G League affiliate, the Grand Rapid Golds, on Tuesday. The 32-year-old signed with the club on Sunday.
The lefty finished the contest with eight assists and went 16-of-30 from the field.
The diminutive grinder was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 60th and final pick of the 2011 NBA draft and spent his first three professional seasons with the team, recording 20.3 points per game and a career-high 6.3 assists and 34.7 minutes per game during the 2013-2014 campaign. Thomas then split time between the Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics in 2014-2015, before making his only two All-Star squads in the next two seasons — his final two full years with Boston.
Thomas played in all 82 contests in 2015-2016 with the Celtics and appeared in 76 the following season while averaging a career-high 28.9 points per tilt (third in the NBA). From 2017 through 2020, Thomas played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards.
He appeared in three games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season.
