"Only Need 1 Team One Chance!": Isaiah Thomas Urges 30 NBA Squads To Look In His Direction

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.

The 10-year veteran followed his season-best performance with yet another outstanding production. Helping his team grab an 11-point win over the Maine Celtics, Isaiah managed to drop 33 points and 7 assists.

As soon as Isaiah’s stats went viral, NBA Twitter blew up. While there were a few who couldn’t believe that no NBA team showed interest in the shifty guard, there were also a few who highlighted his weaknesses.

Hopefully, Isaiah doesn’t quite the grind and earns a roster spot in one of the 30 NBA franchises soon.
