Isaiah Thomas eyes overseas playing opportunity at age 37
Summary

Isaiah Thomas expressed interest in continuing his professional basketball career by playing for an overseas team. The 37-year-old guard indicated that he would shift his playstyle to a traditional point guard role, focusing on facilitating and playmaking rather than high-volume scoring. Thomas last competed in the NBA during the 2023-24 season with the Phoenix Suns, where he appeared in six games. Following his public statements on social media, the European club Zalgiris Kaunas extended an invitation for Thomas to attend a game at Zalgirio Arena. His career trajectory was previously impacted by a long-term hip injury after his peak seasons with the Boston Celtics, where he earned two All-Star selections. It remains to be seen if Thomas receives a formal offer to join an international roster.
