Thomas was traded to Cleveland in August as the key piece in the Kyrie Irving trade. His recovery process has taken a long time and was the source of a bunch of drama when it was announced Thomas would be missing the first part of the season. Thomas averaged a career-high 29 points per game last season with the Celtics.
