Isiah Thomas Doesn’t Reject Idea Of Eventual Return To NBA

GREENBURGH, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Isiah Thomas says he hasn’t spoken with New York Knicks President Phil Jackson since joining the Liberty as a consultant in February.

Thomas didn’t reject the notion that someday he could return to the NBA. The new president of the Liberty was introduced Thursday after being rehired by Madison Square Garden Chairman James Dolan.

Thomas added, “you never know where life will take you,” when asked if he would entertain coming back to the league.

The Hall of Famer’s last foray in the NBA wasn’t too successful as president of the Knicks from 2003-08, with the team reaching the playoffs once.
