The Phoenix Suns have announced that point guard Isaiah Thomas has signed a contract to remain with the team through the end of the season. Thomas initially joined the Suns on a series of 10-day contracts that began on March 20.

During his tenure with the Suns, Thomas has played in four games, averaging 1.3 points and 0.5 assists per game. The league permits teams to sign a player for up to two 10-day contracts, after which they must either sign the player for the rest of the season or allow him to become a free agent. Thomas' second 10-day deal was set to expire on Tuesday.

Thomas, 35, had been out of the NBA for the past 23 months before signing with the Phoenix Suns. Prior to this, he showcased his skills in the G League, where he played for the Salt Lake City Stars, averaging an impressive 32.5 points and making 25 3-pointers in just four games.

A two-time NBA All-Star in 2016 and 2017, Thomas made a mark in the league when he finished fifth in MVP voting during the 2016-17 season, averaging 28.9 points for the Boston Celtics. Throughout his career, Thomas has played for 10 NBA teams, including two stints with the Phoenix Suns. In his first stint with the team during the 2014-15 season, he averaged 15.2 points in 46 games before being traded to the Boston Celtics.

Alongside his time with the Suns and Celtics, Thomas has also donned the jerseys of the Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards, New Orleans Pelicans, Dallas Mavericks, and Charlotte Hornets. Over the course of his 12 seasons in the NBA, Thomas has maintained an impressive scoring average of 17.5 points in 554 games, with 362 of these games being starts.

By securing a contract extension with the Phoenix Suns, Thomas now has the opportunity to continue contributing to the team's success on the court for the remainder of the season.
