Free-agent point guard Isaiah Thomas will work out for the Warriors next week, sources tell Jorge Sierra and Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Thomas, who has only appeared in 55 total games over the last three NBA seasons with the Nuggets, Wizards and Pelicans, has indicated he’s fully recovered from the hip problems that bothered him for years and is looking to get back into the league. He recently worked out for the Lakers and Mavericks in the hopes of securing an NBA deal.
Rumors surfaced this week linking Thomas to EuroLeague club CSKA Moscow, but those reports were either inaccurate or were the result of a misunderstanding — both Thomas and his agent Bernie Lee took to Twitter on Wednesday to shoot them down and stress that the 32-year-old remains focused on playing in the NBA rather than going overseas.
The Warriors, meanwhile, have been working out some free-agent guards as they consider possible candidates to come to training camp and compete with Mychal Mulder and Gary Payton II for the 15th spot on the team’s regular-season roster. Darren Collison and Ryan Arcidiacono are among the players who have recently auditioned for Golden State.
