In 2017, Isaiah Thomas and Boston Celtics parted ways. Since then, the NBA guard has played for five different NBA teams. His last stint was with the New Orleans Pelicans. Thomas was on a ten-day contract with the team, playing three games for them earlier this year.

Now, with the 2021-22 season going on, Thomas is looking to make his NBA comeback. With new opportunities opening up for the veteran player, an NBA return may not be so far off.

Is Isaiah Thomas looking to make his NBA comeback?

According to recent reports, Thomas is in the upcoming G League Showcase in Las Vegas, something which will lead him back to the NBA.?The ultimate goal is to get back in the NBA,? Thomas said. He was then playing for the country’s national team qualifying for the 2023 World Cup.

Thomas even spoke about his love for the game of basketball, and how overseas is certainly an option if he cannot play in the NBA. “I’m in love with the game. No matter where I’m playing, I have no pride whatsoever,” he explained. “I love competing and I love playing against the best players in the world”.

With the Pelicans, Thomas came off the bench, scoring 7.7 points per game, shooting 33.3% from the field. Even though Thomas was one of the brightest players in the league, his hip injury in 2017 slowed down his career as no one expected. He scored well and excelled from 2015 to 2017, even leading the Celtics to the Eastern Conference finals.

However, his recovery turned out to be complicated, his time with any team ending up limited. Thomas’ performance is also affected, the two-time NBA all-star struggling to keep up.
