Tim Thomas is looking to return to the NBA as a member of the Mavericks.

Thomas missed a majority of last season to take care of his ill wife.

Agent Bob Myers says he and the club are working toward a new deal that would resume the veteran's career in Dallas.

"We're hoping to get something nailed down to bring him back there," Myers said Saturday.

Thomas appeared in just 18 games for the Mavericks last season.
