As expected, Isaiah Thomas is hopeful to return to the lineup in early January, according to multiple reports. Thomas would be marking his calendar for January 3rd in Boston against his former team. Jose Calderon will continue to start until his return. (Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Thomas would be a must-start in that matchup with the Boston Celtics as he's surely got revenge on his mind after the team traded him for Kyrie Irving after his emotional playoff run last season. Thomas' return would push Calderon to backup PG duties if Rose isn't back also by then. Thomas should be owned in all leagues.
