The Charlotte Hornets have 7-2 record since they signed Isaiah Thomas with his first 10-day contract. They’re counting 5 straight wins. IT brings his winning mindset in the team. Big time addition for the Hornets at the most crucial stage of the season. #AllFly @Isaiah Thomas9:26 PM

Spoke with LaMelo, Isaiah Thomas and Miles Bridges today about how Thomas is giving an assist to LaMelo in different ways. It’s benefited the #Hornets.
“People like that, you love to be around, love to soak up all the knowledge,” LaMelo told me.

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
The Hornets have one more day to decide whether to sign former All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas to a rest-of-the-season contract after two 10-day deals but are undeniably pleased, I’m told, with Thomas’ contributions both as an off-the-bench scorer and as a veteran. – 1:13 PM

More on this storyline

Isaiah Thomas: Once I was paying free again, it’s like, ‘I’m playing everywhere.’ Because the time is ticking like, I’m 33. But I still got a lot of years left to play. But I’m on the back end of my career. So I’m trying to take every ounce of this game that I can and play anywhere I can while I’m healthy and feeling great. -via Apple Podcasts / March 19, 2022
Rod Boone: Per a league source, the #Hornets are expected to sign Isaiah Thomas (@Isaiah Thomas) to a second 10-day contract tomorrow. He’s been great for them so far and contributed 14 points off the bench in Friday night’s win over New Orleans. -via Twitter @rodboone / March 12, 2022
