Thomas is a native of Tacoma and starred at the University of Washington for three seasons before moving on to the pros. His roots in the Pacific Northwest have remained strong, and he continues to be a big figure within the Greater Seattle basketball scene.

The 35-year-old made his return to the NBA this season after going unsigned in 2022-23. He suited up for the NBA G League's Salt Lake City Stars in March before earning a shot with the Phoenix Suns.

Thomas logged 19 minutes in the regular season across six games and saw action in Phoenix's Game 1 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.
