Maybe finally a little stability for Isaiah Thomas. The former All-Star is desperate for a franchise to jump-start his career after a hip injury left him an NBA pariah. Gradually disappearing from the radar, he has known 8 different teams since 2017. The Charlotte Hornets being the latest. And he is well on his way to making his place there.
At least for this season. After two 10-day contracts, the 33-year-old finally signed a contract for the last matches, as well as the play-in and potential playoffs. His performances convinced the Hornets to keep him. Not only is his contribution on the field appreciated, as a back-up in the lead, but also in the locker room, as a veteran who supervises the young players of Charlotte.
Still author of 15 points off the bench Monday night, Isaiah Thomas is running 9.9 points, 46% in shots and 48% in three-pointers since his arrival in North Carolina. More importantly, the Hornets have won 6 of the 7 matches he has played. They also remain on 5 consecutive successes and occupy ninth place in the East.
Isaiah Thomas, a real possibility of settling with the Hornets?
