Phoenix Suns sign Isaiah Thomas to another 10-day contract

Isaiah Thomas will remain with the Phoenix Suns for the next 10 days.

While former Washington Huskies star Isaiah Thomas has taken just five shots throughout his 10-day contract with the Phoenix Suns, general manager James Jones has decided to renew his deal, as the team announced on Saturday afternoon that they had signed Thomas to another 10-day contract.

Thomas has played in two of Phoenix’s six games since signing him, scoring 5 points while going 2 for 5 from the field with 2 assists in 8 minutes of action. The Suns have eight games remaining in the regular season and are currently sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference.

While this means they would qualify for postseason play, they would have to win a play-in game against the No. 8 seed Sacramento Kings before officially making it to the playoffs. Phoenix is 1.5 games back of the Dallas Mavericks for the No. 6 seed and a guaranteed playoff spot.

It appears the Suns are looking to Thomas to provide them with veteran leadership and injury insurance as they continue to make a push for the playoffs and with the majority of his playing time coming in Friday’s 128-103 loss at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder.
