The Charlotte Hornets signed two-time All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day contract, according to sources.
The Hornets have lost 11 of 13 games to fall to ninth in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
In the past week, Thomas has averaged 41.3 points for the Grand Rapids Gold of the G League. There have been three 45 point performances in the G League this season, and Thomas has two of them.
Thomas played in five games for the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.
Thomas had two All-Star seasons with the Boston Celtics before a serious hip injury derailed his career. He has been out of the NBA for the past two seasons.
