Shams Charania of The Athletic and Watch Stadium is reporting that point guard Isaiah Thomas of the Denver Nuggets has been assigned to the G League for a rehab stint.
Shortly after the Sham-Wow, however, Denver’s own Nick Kosmider of the Athletic added to the report with an important clarification—Thomas will not play in the G League.
To add to the report of @ShamsCharania and Isaiah Thomas being assigned to the G-League, I’m told he won’t actually play there. The distinction was made for possible practice time with a G League team, but IT will instead stay with Denver, moving closer to NBA return.
