Isaiah Thomas after Lakers debut: ‘I feel like I got my powers back’

Isaiah Thomas got his powers back, and he didn’t even have to grab a drink from Michael’s Secret Stuff.

Thomas’ debut with the Los Angeles Lakers was a success, and the guard said afterwards that being with his new team was revitalizing.

“I felt like I got my powers back with this team,” Isaiah Thomas said.

Thomas made a 3-pointer on his first shot with his new team. He played 31 minutes off the bench and shot 7-of-12 for 22 points. He made 4 of 8 threes he tried.

When people talk about players needing a change of scenery, this is exactly what they’re talking about. That’s what Thomas needed after not being a good fit in Cleveland.
