With the Sacramento Kings badly needing point guard depth since the departure of De’Aaron Fox, they may look to the draft, make a trade, or pursue a point guard in free agency. New General Manager Scott Perry will keep all options open in balancing the roster, but could that include bringing back a fan favorite?
In response to a post on X (formerly Twitter), former Kings point guard Isaiah Thomas stated he would be open to a reunion with the team that drafted him.

Thomas spent the first three seasons of his career in Sacramento, and in that time, established himself as a fan favorite and one of the best young guards in the league. In 216 games in the California capital, including 153 starts, the five-foot-nine guard out of Washington posted averages of 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1 steal in 29.1 minutes per game.
The best season of Thomas’ career would come in 2016-17 for the Boston Celtics, in which he averaged 28.9 points per game, was named an All-Star, made the All-NBA Second Team, and finished fifth in MVP voting.
While a reunion between Thomas and the Kings is unlikely, it would be a fitting end to an excellent career. The team could certainly use a veteran point guard who can shoot and make plays. Kings fans would have something to cheer for in what has been an otherwise disappointing couple of seasons.
