Isiah Thomas has not spoken with Knicks president Phil Jackson yet, aware that a conversation between the two could fuel speculation he is somehow angling for his job. But Thomas still didn’t rule out one day returning to the NBA in some form, sending mixed messages about his true ambition and current role as president of the WNBA’s New York Liberty.
“You never know where life takes you,” Thomas said during Liberty media day on Thursday, as he fielded questions on his role in a sexual harassment lawsuit with the Knicks and his possible return to the team.
