His comments have apparently caught the attention of Zalgiris Kaunas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The Lithuanian club responded on social media with a rather intriguing message to the former NBA All-Star: \u201cWhat about coming courtside to Zalgirio Arena to experience the peak atmosphere of European basketball?\u201d The comment may simply have been a playful invitation, but it has inevitably fueled speculation.<\/p>\n<p>There is currently no indication of negotiations between Isaiah Thomas and Zalgiris, and the club&#8217;s message should not be interpreted as confirmation of any potential deal. Still, the idea is certainly intriguing: Thomas playing in the EuroLeague, perhaps in front of the passionate crowd at Zalgirio Arena. The Lithuanian club has clearly thrown the suggestion into the mix.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">What about coming courtside to Zalgirio Arena to experience the peak atmosphere of European basketball? \ud83d\udc9a<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/isaiahthomas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@isaiahthomas<\/a> \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hbGTXWt250\">https:\/\/t.co\/hbGTXWt250<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZlzoQWSJMt\">pic.twitter.com\/ZlzoQWSJMt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BC Zalgiris Kaunas (@bczalgiris) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bczalgiris\/status\/2097046895830958277?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lithuanian club responds to the former NBA All-Star&#8217;s comments, fueling speculation about a possible move to Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":514157,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[199],"tags":[],"rumors":[407],"typology":[183],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-514158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","rumors-basket-rumors","typology-rumors"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/09\/HRo1B-qW0AAzTU7.jpg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514158"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=514158"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=514158"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=514158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
