Isaiah Thomas Wants a Year in Europe
The two-time NBA All-Star, now a Boston Celtics scout, says he wants to spend a season playing in Europe to prove his level.
He posted on X.
Thomas, a two-time NBA All-Star, joined Boston's staff as a scout this year, but the post makes clear he still wants to play. His last NBA appearance came in the 2023/24 season, when he made six appearances for Phoenix. Since July 2026 he has also turned out for Doncaster, scoring once for the club.
In between, Thomas spent the 2024/25 season in the G League, averaging 29.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists across 14 games — numbers that point to a player still capable of carrying an offence, even if a return to the NBA has so far eluded him.
A move to Europe would give Thomas the stage he says he is looking for, though nothing beyond the social media post points to a specific side or league at this stage.
