It’s been one year since Isaiah Thomas last played in the NBA with the Washington Wizards. Now, the two-time All-Star is ready to suit up for USA Basketball in the upcoming FIBA AmeriCup qualifying window. He wants to use this opportunity to show that he’s ready to make his return to the NBA.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy ultimate goal is to play in the NBA as soon as possible,\u201d Thomas, 32, told The Associated Press. \u201cThis allows me to compete against other professionals, represent my country at the same time \u2014 which is an honor and a privilege \u2014 and ultimately show NBA teams that I\u2019m back to myself and I\u2019m 100% healthy. That\u2019s why I chose to come here. When Team USA brought it to me, it was a no-brainer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
