As free-agent guard Isaiah Thomas probes the marketplace, this summer affords him something that the past two did not: an unobstructed work regimen to restore strength and explosion to his lower body, and the chance to be back in the gymnasium every day, sharpening his game.
Thomas is hopeful his season with the Denver Nuggets and a full summer of work will become a pathway back into an NBA rotation, a full-time resumption of a career sidetracked by hip surgery.
