The Charlotte Hornets have agreed to sign Isaiah Thomas to a contract for the remainder of the season.
Thomas was previously on 10-days this season with the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.
In six games with the Hornets, Thomas is averaging 9.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 13.5 minutes.
Kemba Walker has been training in Charlotte and New York while he remains away from the New York Knicks. Walker could possibly return to the Charlotte Hornets this offseason.
Walker signed a two-year, $18 million deal with the Knicks during the 2021 offseason and is more likely to be traded near the draft than bought out.
Asked if Walker has been at the Tarrytown facility, Tom Thibodeau said, “No, he’s away from the team. That’s the way it is. He’s rehabbing, taking care of what he has to take care of.’’
Thibodeau said Walker is not working with team trainers.
“No, he’s away from the team,’’ Thibodeau said. “And that was agreed upon. Our management, his agent and Kemba, we just felt that was the best way to handle it.’’
The Charlotte Hornets are signing Isaiah Thomas to a second 10-day contract. Thomas' first 10-day deal expired on Saturday.
Thomas saw action in three games with the Hornets. He averaged 9.7 points in 13.8 minutes per game off Charlotte's bench.
Thomas recently said he hopes to stick with the Hornets for the remainder of the season. After he completes this second 10-day deal, Charlotte will have to sign him for the rest of the season or let him return to free agency.
The Miami Heat would like to eventually upgrade their frontcourt alongside Bam Adebaylo, sources tell Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report.
Christian Wood and PJ Washington are two players Miami has shown interest in previously.
Wood has one year remaining on the three-year, $41 million deal he signed with the Houston Rockets in 2020.
