“If Isaiah Thomas was 25-years-old and doing what he’s doing in the G-League, would he still be there?!”: NBA Twitter explodes after the former Celtics star puts up stellar performances in the G-League

After dropping a season-high 45 points on Wednesday night, Isaiah Thomas erupts for a 33-point performance against the Maine Celtics.

Isaiah Thomas has been under the radar ever since the Celtics traded him away in 2017. Ever since, the 5-foot-9 guard has been jumping teams – Cleveland, Los Angeles, Denver, Washington, and New Orleans. And this season, after a few solid performances in the G-League, the Los Angeles Lakers offered him a 10-day contract, followed by the Mavericks.

After a few unsuccessful performances and failing to get signed by any other team, IT went back to the G-League. In his first game back, the undersized former NBA All-Star erupted for a 45-point scoring rampage. Representing the Grand Rapid Golds, Thomas exploded for 45 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds.
