While his status for the 2019-20 season opener remains unclear, Isaiah Thomas’ health appears to be trending in a positive direction.
The Washington Wizards guard has been on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery on his left thumb in mid-September. Thomas, who hurt the thumb during a workout, made light of the incident at the time.
Hurt my damn thumb tryna play defense… Never again lol never again!

Head coach Scott Brooks says Thomas fully returned to practice Sunday, nothing he’s in “pretty good” shape ahead of the Wizards’ season opener Wednesday night, according to The Athletic’s Fred Katz.
Isaiah Thomas went through full practice today. Brooks said he’s in “pretty good” shape. Sounds like playing Wednesday in the opener is a legit possibility.
