Isaiah Thomas gets standing ovation in debut with Denver Nuggets - He's Back!

Former Celtics star, Isaiah Thomas, had a successful debut with his new team, the Denver Nuggets. He entered the game to a thunderous standing ovation and ended up with eight points in 13 minutes of play - hitting 3-of-6 on field goals and 2-of-5 from 3-point land. But most of all, he looked healthy for the first time in memory.

Isaiah also passed off for two assists in the 120-118 Denver win (per NBA's Pat Graham):

Thomas proclaimed his surgically repaired hip good to go prior to the game and was anxious to step back onto the court.
