Isaiah Thomas is back. The former Boston Celtics All-Star made his return to the NBA G League on Tuesday night and made an immediate impact for the Salt Lake City Stars in a seven point loss to the Valley Suns.

Thomas made 13 of 28 shot attempts and four of 10 three-pointers. He also had eight assists, three rebounds, two steals and six turnovers. Any question that he can still get a bucket should have been answered, but that was probably never in question.
