Isaiah Thomas will be back in Sacramento this week. According to Fox40’s Sean Cunningham, the Kings are bringing in a group of free agents, including the 35-year-old guard, to work with their players.

Thomas played six games for the Phoenix Suns last season and four games for the G League’s Salt Lake City Stars. He spent the first three years of his career with the Kings after he was drafted with the No. 60 pick in 2011. Thomas’ tenure in Sacramento ended with a sign-and-trade in the 2014 offseason, but he’s still beloved there.

Also participating in these workouts are guard Lonnie Walker IV, forward Juan Toscano-Anderson and big man Tony Bradley, according to Fox40.

Last month, Thomas told ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth that he was “talking to some teams” and waiting for an opportunity. “I’d like to play for another year or two,” he said. A few days later, he and a few other veteran free agents worked out for the Milwaukee Bucks in Las Vegas, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Thomas finished fifth in MVP voting as a member of the Boston Celtics in 2017, but kept playing despite a hip injury late that season. The injury proved to be career-altering, as he hasn’t played more than 40 games in a season since.

Walker, 25, is leading the list of available free agents, having played a productive season with the Brooklyn Nets, in which he shot 38.4% from 3-point range and averaged 20.1 points in 36 minutes.

Toscano-Anderson played 11 games for the Kings in 2023-24 but finished the season with the Mexico City Capitanes of the G League. Bradley spent last season with the Texas Legends of the G League.
