The Milwaukee Bucks worked out five players fighting for their next chance in the NBA on Wednesday in Las Vegas, where a sizable portion of the NBA universe is present for Summer League, according to Shams Charania of Stadium. Isaiah Thomas, a two-time All-Star and MVP contender while playing for the Boston Celtics, was one of them. The 35-year-old guard signed a 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns after concluding his play with them last season.
In a testament to his value on and off the court, despite only playing in six games and averaging 3.2 minutes of floor time — never committing a turnover and knocking down 50 percent of his 0.7 three-point attempts — Thomas earned a second 10-day deal before signing for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.
Along with the former Celtics star, the Bucks worked out Justise Winslow, Will Barton, Hamidou Diallo, and Jaylen Nowell.
