Boston Celtics

On Wednesday in Las Vegas, where a significant percentage of the NBA universe is while Summer League takes place, the Milwaukee Bucks worked out five players vying for their next opportunity in the league, per Shams Charania of Stadium.

Among them was Isaiah Thomas, a two-time All-Star and MVP candidate during his time in Boston. The 35-year-old guard finished last season with the Phoenix Suns, taking his talents to the desert on a 10-day contract.

In a testament to his value on and off the court, despite only playing in six games and averaging 3.2 minutes of floor time -- never committing a turnover and knocking down 50 percent of his 0.7 three-point attempts -- Thomas earned a second 10-day deal before signing for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.

Along with the former Celtics star, the Bucks worked out Justise Winslow, Will Barton, Hamidou Diallo, and Jaylen Nowell.
