Isaiah Thomas signing 10-day contract with Hornets for his third stint in NBA this season, per report

Former All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas is returning to the NBA on a 10-day contract with the Charlotte Hornets, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. This will be Thomas' third stint in the league this season, after previously spending time with the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.

Thomas played in just five total games with those two teams, averaging 8.6 points and two assists on a disappointing 20 percent shooting from 3-point land. But while his limited appearances in the NBA haven't been particularly impressive, the same cannot be said about his performances in the G League.

In his first G League game back in December, Thomas poured in 42 points. And when he rejoined the Grand Rapids Gold in late February, he picked up right where he left off. He poured in 45 points against the Windy City Bulls, then followed that up by dropping 46 points -- the highest-scoring game by any player in the G League this season -- on the Greensboro Swarm. On Tuesday, Thomas was named G League player of the week for averaging 41.3 points and 6.3 assists, while shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

Thomas is clearly too talented for the G League, but whether he can still produce at a high level in the NBA remains to be seen. He'll get another chance to prove himself in Charlotte. The Hornets have lost 11 of their last 13 games to fall to 10th place in the Eastern Conference, and are 28th in offense during that stretch, scoring just 105.8 points per 100 possessions.

Thomas' ability to score and create for others should be useful as the Hornets try to turn things around. With upcoming games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics -- two of the top-four defensive teams in the league -- the Hornets are going to need some serious help scoring the ball.

Video Of How 'Fake Klay Thompson' Got Past The Warriors Security And Gets Shots On The Court

The Golden State Warriors ended up winning Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and took a 3-2 lead in the series. It feels certain that the Dubs will win this series and win their fourth NBA Championship in the last eight years. While winning the finals will mean a lot for every player on the Dubs' roster, it will certainly mean more for Klay Thompson. Klay was sidelined due to injuries over the last two seasons and made a comeback this season. Finishing off the season with a ring will certainly be the cherry on top for him. Speaking of Klay Thompson, an incident took place around a certain lookalike of the Warriors' sharpshooter. We are sure you must remember the 'Fake Klay Thompson' who got famous a few years ago. Prior to Game 5 of the series, Fake Klay snuck into the Chase Center and got shots up before the matchup began. NBA fans found this hilarious, but it seems like the Warriors organization didn't. He was handed a lifetime ban from th...

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big.

Zion Williamson posts Instagram video of monster between-the-legs dunk while recovering from foot injury

Zion Williamson's status has been one of the great mysteries of the 2021-22 season. When he was initially diagnosed with a fractured foot, he was expected to be available in time for the beginning of the season. And then he wasn't. The New Orleans Pelicans offered only vague and inconsistent updates. Williamson himself never spoke. And now, with the season coming to an end, it appears as though Williamson won't be returning to the floor at all. After missing most of his rookie year, his third season is on track to come and go without a minute of game time as well. Where that leaves Williamson moving forward, we can't say, but for the first time in months, the Pelicans forward gave fans a morsel of optimism. On his Instagram story, he posted this video of him doing a monster between-the-legs dunk. Zion Williamson just posted this to his IG story: (And if you’re wondering if it’s recent, he’s wearing his new Zion 2 shoe in it) As Andrew Lopez of ESPN notes, the video ...
