The G League Winter Showcase features eight teams in a single-elimination tournament. Team scouts and executives will be in attendance to evaluate players.
“The ultimate goal is to get back in the NBA,” Thomas said last month while playing for the United States national team in qualifying for the 2023 World Cup.
In the past four seasons since being dealt by the Boston Celtics to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017, Thomas has played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver Nuggets, Washington Wizards and New Orleans Pelicans.
