WELCOME BACK OLD FRIEND


Isaiah Thomas could have been putting on a Mavericks jersey but the group at Golden 1 Facility did its finest to make him feel at home. Thomas, who signed a 10-day contract with Dallas on Wednesday under the COVID-related challenge allowance, spent his very first 3 NBA periods in Sacramento after being the last pick of the 2011 draft and also was greeted with a rousing ovation when he entered the game in the very first quarter.

Fans really did not jeer Thomas when the 32-year-old shot an airball on his initial shot of the evening, and applauded when he linked on an 18-footer. The two-time All-Star, who played 4 games with the Lakers this month, had 6 factors and four helps in 13 mins.
