Thomas is finally earning another opportunity to get backin the Ketel Marte Jersey leaguewithhis last real stint coming in 2019-20 with the Wizards.

Overtime (@overtime)He followed that up with oneveryimpre sive outing in his G League debut on Wednesday night with the Nuggets' affiliate, Grand Rapids Gold.
In his 2021 G League debut, Thomas erupted for 42 points, eight a sists and six rebounds while shooting 16-for-30 from the field. He showed flashbacks of his quickne s and shiftine Madison Bumgarner Jersey s from his All-Star days with the Celtics, scoring in the lane without trouble while displaying touch on floaters, too. Andthat jump shot hasn't gone anywhere, knocking down five 3-pointers to boot.
Isaiah Thomas was nothing short of AMAZING tonight. 42 points | 8 a sists | 6 rebounds | 5 3PT
NBA G League (@nbagleague)This will be Thomas' second stint with the Lakers in his career. He played17 games with Los Angeles in 2017-18, Robbie Ray Jersey posting averages of 15.6 points and 5.0 a sists per game.
With Westbrook, Monk, Horton-Tucker and Bradley out, the Lakers are as thin as can be at the guard position. Thomas will compete with the likes of Rajon Rondo Andrew Chafin Jersey , Austin Reeves and Wayne Ellington for playing time, but there should be plenty of minutes available given the team's lack of depth at the moment.
Let's see what Thomas can do with this opportunity.
