Isaiah Thomas Returns To Team USA For World Cup Qualifiers

Isaiah Thomas has struggled to find his footing in the NBA after suffering a hip injury back in 2017. Thomas was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers and eventually made several stops to teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards and the New Orleans Pelicans, respectively.

Thomas has been longing for another comeback since he was plucked out of an NBA roster. So, during the offseason, the 32-year old former NBA standout showed that he still has something left in the tank and did his best to attract attention from teams around the NBA.

Thomas, at the very least, received workouts with three NBA teams namely the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. However, it appeared that these teams were thinking twice about signing the 32-year old point guard at this stage of his career..

While Thomas revealed that he was actually very close to signing with one of these teams, nothing came to fruition and the former All-Star is still without NBA employment. 

But fans will be able to see the point guard on hardwood again soon, as Thomas will putting on the red, white and blue again. Thomas was added to the roster, along with Justin Anderson, as replacements for DaQuan Jeffries and Frank Mason III. The team has started its raining camp in Houston on Saturday and will play against Cuba on Nov. 28 and Mexico on Nov. 29.
