Former BOSTON CELTICS MVP candidate ISAIAH THOMAS has found
his newest NBA gig. Thomas is now back in the league after signing a 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns. Whether Thomas will stay in Phoenix for longer or not, Danny Ainge sent a strong message to the former Celtic.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania revealed what Ainge told him after Thomas signed with the Suns.
“Danny Ainge told me, ‘He’s special, as driven as anyone I know. He made a difference to everyone he was around in 10 short days in the G League. I couldn’t be happier for him. Good pickup by the Suns.’”
The Suns will be Thomas’ first NBA team since playing for the Hornets in 2022. This also won’t be his first stint in Phoenix, as Thomas played for the Suns before the Celtics acquired him at the NBA Trade Deadline in 2015.
Acquiring Thomas kicked off the Celtics’ success since then, as Thomas helped them reach the playoffs in three consecutive seasons, including a run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2017. Though Thomas has a rich history with the Celtics, they have passed on every opportunity to bring him back when they could.
