Lakers' Isaiah Thomas: Making first start in 685 days

Thomas is listed as a starter for Sunday's contest against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

The veteran point guard's journey back to the league is set to take yet another step forward as Thomas will be making his first start since his 2019-20 season with Washington. Thomas posted 19 points (5-12 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT) across 21 minutes during his first appearance of the season Friday against Minnesota and now seems to be set for even more opportunities as he enters the starting lineup alongside Russell Westbrook. The 32-year-old remains a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option.
