Thomas was signed and waived by San Antonio earlier this week, Jeff Garcia of News 4 San Antonio reports.
Thomas will spend the season with San Antonio's G League affiliate (Austin Spurs) after he signed an Exhibit 10 contract on Friday and then was waived. Thomas appeared in eight games for the Pistons last season, averaging 2.1 points per game.
The Hawks plan to waive Thomas, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
This doesn't come as much of a surprise, as the Hawks have plenty of backcourt depth and couldn't offer much of a role to the newly acquired guard. Thomas will head into free agency and look to catch on with another team.
Thomas was traded to the Hawks on Thursday, along with Tony Snell, in exchange for DeWayne Dedmon, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Through two NBA seasons, the Creighton product has only appeared in 34 total games, including just eight in 2019-20. Thomas is unlikely to find more opportunity in Atlanta, as the Hawks are considerably further along in their rebuild than Detroit.
Thomas played 13 minutes off the bench and contributed six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt) with one rebound Sunday in a 96-84 loss to the Knicks.
After returning in late February from the left foot surgery that sidelined him for most of the season, Thomas has occupied a minor rotation role for the Pistons. He's seen the floor in five of the team's last six games, topping out at 14 minutes. Thomas will likely be a prime candidate to lose out on playing time once the likes of Brandon Knight (knee) and Luke Kennard (knee) return to action.
Thomas (foot) is available for Tuesday's game at Denver, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Thomas was considered probable with a left foot issue but will be suiting up Tuesday. The 23-year-old hasn't played in NBA action since early November and will likely have a minor role off the bench if he sees the court.
Thomas (foot) is probable for Tuesday's contest against Denver.
Thomas hasn't appeared in a game for the Pistons since Nov. 6 following foot surgery. Even if the guard is active for Wednesday's contest however, there's a better chance Thomas won't see the floor. In just two games played, Thomas is averaging 3.0 minutes.
Thomas recorded 27 points (10-26 FG, 7-12 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in Friday's win over Northern Arizona.
Although he struggled with his shot overall, Thomas was dialed in from behind the arc and managed to convert over 50-percent of his takes from distance. His involvement with Grand Rapids is expected to be relatively limited as Thomas' presumably getting some additional in-game reps as part of his rehab from a foot injury that's kept him from the floor for the past three months. There's chance that he'll continue to play for Grand Rapids for another game or two, though a placement in Detroit could come quickly if he continues to play well.
Thomas (foot) is expected to play in the G League on Friday and Sunday, then join the Pistons for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
Thomas has been sidelined since October due to foot surgery, but he's gotten the all-clear to resume on-court action. Considering the Pistons have transitioned into a rebuild, Thomas could see some NBA action for the final stretch of the season.
Thomas (foot) was assigned to the G League on Friday, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Thomas (foot) is expected to be in the G League within the next week, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Thomas continues to heal from right foot surgery, and he's likely to finish recovering in the G League. More information on a potential return date may emerge once he gets some practice run in.
The Pistons have ruled Thomas (foot) out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
Thomas was able to take part in practice Tuesday, but because he's been sidelined since early November while recovering from foot surgery, the Pistons apparently want him to get in more on-court work before he returns to game action. The second-year guard looks like he'll be ready to go shortly after the All-Star break.
Thomas (foot) practiced Tuesday, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
It's clearly a good sign for Thomas, who has been out since Nov. 6 recovering from foot surgery. The second-year guard is reportedly on the brink of returning, and could eventually take the court soon after the All-Star break.
Thomas (foot) will be held out of Monday's game against Charlotte, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
Thomas hasn't played since Nov. 6 and doesn't appear to have a clear timeline for return. Until the team provides a more specific timetable, he'll continue to be assessed on a day-to-day basis.
Thomas (foot) was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.
Thomas missed the front end of the back-to-back set Friday in Oklahoma City, so it's not a major surprise he's also sitting out Saturday. The 23-year-old hasn't seen game action since early November and has no set date for his return.
Thomas (foot) was ruled out for Friday's game at Oklahoma City, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
It was reported Monday that Thomas was hopeful of returning to game action late in the week, but he won't be retaking the court Friday. The 23-year-old will have another chance to suit up Saturday versus the Knicks.
Thomas (foot) remains out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, though he's hopeful to return to action late in the week, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Thomas hasn't played since early November after requiring surgery to address a right foot injury. The second-year guard is apparently optimistic about his progress in recent days, suggesting his extended absence could soon be nearing an end. Based on his comments, Thomas can probably be ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns as well, leaving Friday's contest in Oklahoma City as the earliest date for his return.
Thomas (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Reports on Thomas' recovery from the right foot surgery he required in mid-November have been scarce, so he can probably be viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day until the Pistons say otherwise. Even if Thomas makes it back to action in February, he's unlikely to hold a regular role in Detroit's rotation.
Thomas (foot) won't play in Monday's tilt with Washington, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
Thomas continues to rehab from right foot surgery and will miss his 35th consecutive game. Detroit hasn't provided much of an update on Thomas' condition since he had the procedure in mid-November, so he can probably be viewed as week-to-week at this point.
Thomas (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Though he's now two months removed from surgery on his right foot, Thomas doesn't appear close to playing, as the Pistons have yet to even upgrade him from "out" to "doubtful" on their injury report. The second-year guard isn't likely to be included in coach Dwane Casey's rotation once healthy.
