Veteran point guard Isaiah Thomas still hasn’t given up on playing in the NBA again. Thomas recently told Yahoo Sports Chris Haynes that he is “in communication” with multiple teams and looking to get back on the court.

Thomas last played with the Washington Wizards early in the 2019-20 NBA season. He was traded to the LA Clippers in February and was then waived shortly after. The 32-year-old guard failed to find a new team and decided to undergo hip surgery in hopes that he would be injury-free in 2020-21.

Thomas made 37 starts last season with the Wizards, averaging 12.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

While the injuries and inconsistency tarnished Isaiah Thomas’ reputation in recent years, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he landed a roster spot in the near future. Plenty of teams around the NBA are in need of quality depth due to the coronavirus and injuries, and Thomas might be a valuable bench piece for most of them.

Thomas had his best performances in a Boston Celtics jersey, making two All-Star appearances with the franchise. He was especially productive during 2016–17 when he was an MVP candidate and averaged 28.9 points and 5.9 rebounds.

Isaiah Thomas met with Malone and Denver’s president of basketball operations Tim Connelly in Las Vegas recently where he discussed his role in the team. Thomas was reportedly promised to have significant minutes from the bench and that he will be tasked with significant playmaking and scoring role. Prior to this, Thomas, who is still recovering from hip surgery, was reportedly in talks with Orlando Magic.

Before this offseason, Thomas expected to sign a max contract after he averaged 28.9 points per game for the Boston Celtics in 2016-17, was named an All-Star and earned second-team All-NBA honors. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old aggravated an old hip injury during the 2017 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, which sidelined him for more than six months. During that time he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After returning from injury, Isaiah Thomas struggled with the Cavs and was eventually sent to the Los Angeles Lakers. He managed to play a total of 32 games in the last season while averaging 15.1 points per game. In late March, Thomas decided to undergo a hip surgery which ruled him out for a season.

Isaiah Thomas was selected as the last pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by Sacramento Kings. His NBA career averages include 18.9 points, 5.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game.

Los Angeles Lakers’ Isaiah Thomas will want to forget the 2017-18 season as soon as possible. The 29-year-old point guard struggled with hip injury for the better part of the season, which limited him to only 32 games. Thomas then decided to undergo an arthroscopic surgery to his right hip in late March, deciding to focus on his health and prepare for the next season.

It looks like Thomas has made the right decision since he gave an update on his health on Wednesday via Twitter saying that he is “finally pain free.”

I haven’t been able to really workout & get better in over a year! Finally pain free. This is going to be fun!!! #ThatSLOWgrind

According to estimations, Isaiah Thomas will need four months in order to fully recover from the surgery and get back to his full form. Quick and efficient recovery will be crucial for Thomas since he is set to become a free agent in July and NBA teams will most likely be cautious about signing him to a long-term deal. He might end up staying with the Lakers but that will only be the case if they don’t manage to lure LeBron James and/or Paul George.

In the 2017-18 season, Isaiah Thomas played 15 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers in which he averaged only 14.7 points and 4.5 assists. He was then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers on the trade deadline but didn’t manage to have more success there. Thomas played 17 games for the Lakers and contributed with 15.6 points and 5 assists per game.
