Thomas came off the bench on Wednesday for his first action of the 2017-18 season and got greeted with a standing ovation from the sell out crowd at Quicken Loans Arena.


I.T is expected to play somewhere between 20-22 minutes as he works his way back from a hip injury that caused him to miss the first part of the season.
