What It Means:

Thomas said earlier in December that he was targeting the first week of January for his return, so he's right on schedule. The Cavs will almost certainly ease him back into action, so don't expect him to play big minutes. Thomas will also not play Wednesday on the second night of a back to back.

Our models project Thomas for 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists over 25.6 minutes per game the rest of the season.
