Suns Make New Signing Official

The Phoenix Suns have made Isaiah Thomas' addition official.

PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns have officially inked Isaiah Thomas to a ten-day deal.

From the team's official press release:

"The Phoenix Suns today announced that the team has signed free agent guard Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day contract.

"Thomas (5’-9”, 185 pounds) most recently appeared in four games with the Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA G League, averaging 32.5 points, 6.3 three-point makes on 44.6% three-point shooting, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals. A two-time NBA All-Star selection with 11 years of NBA experience, Thomas holds career averages of 17.7 points and 4.8 assists in 550 games with Sacramento, Phoenix, Boston, Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver, Washington, New Orleans, Dallas and Charlotte. The 35-year-old played previously played 46 games with the Suns during the 2014-15 season, averaging 15.2 points and 3.7 assists."

Phoenix - currently 39-29 on the year - hopes Thomas will wear multiple hats while in the Valley, as his leadership for a Suns team still piecing themselves together while backup point guard Saben Lee only has four games left before his status as a two-way player is up.

The Suns have just over ten games remaining on deck in the regular season, and as The Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin points out, a team can sign a player to two 10-day contracts before having to sign him to a standard deal if the team wants to keep the player on the team.

Thomas is expected to be available tonight as the Suns battle the Philadelphia 76ers.
