The New Orleans Pelicans are signing free-agent guard Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day contract, the team announced.
Thomas, a former two-time All-Star with the Boston Celtics, last played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards during the 2019-20 season. The Washington product has battled a hip injury in recent years but underwent surgery to address the nagging ailment last May.
The 32-year-old hoped to sign with an NBA team ahead of the 2020-21 campaign but didn't garner sufficient interest to land a deal. Thomas last played professionally as a member of Team USA for the FIBA qualifying competition in February.
The veteran owns career averages of 18.1 points, five assists, and 2.5 rebounds across 525 NBA games.
Thomas will be eligible to make his Pelicans debut Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He'll wear No. 24.
