His impressive averages during his stint with the Stars caught the attention of the Phoenix Suns, who signed him to two 10-day contracts before they decided to keep him on the roster for the remainder of the season, completing his nearly two-year attempt at an NBA comeback.
For the Suns, Thomas only made six appearances off the bench, averaging just over three minutes per game. Isaiah only scored eight points with Phoenix before once again becoming a free agent after the season.
According to Shams Charania, NBA Insider for ESPN, Isaiah Thomas is expected to make his 2024-2025 debut for the Salt Lake Stars later this week.
