Thomas last played on March 22, 2018, as a member of the Lakers. He scored 15 points against the Pelicans, but then underwent hip surgery later in the month.

Two years ago, however, he was an All-Star for the Celtics and a borderline MVP candidate. Standing only 5-foot-9, Thomas averaged 25.5 points per game from 2015 to 2017.
