Mavericks to let Isaiah Thomas go
Marc Stein: Isaiah Thomas’ 10-day contract with Dallas expires before the Mavericks’ next game Sunday and Thomas’ brief Mavs stint will then come to an end, league sources say. Thomas could only play in one game as a Maverick before he had to enter the league’s health and safety protocols.

Among many points LeBron is making about this issue, he relates an anecdote when Isaiah Thomas was coming out of Washington, and he wondered if he was related to Isiah Thomas — and resolved the issue by Googling to find out. – 4:28 PM

Isaiah Thomas being in a Fred Meyer when he got the call to join the Mavericks is very relatable. Part of @Brian Windhorst‘s look at the logistics of COVID-19 replacements: es.pn/3F3fGtZ (ESPN+) – 3:35 PM
