Isaiah Thomas was born on February 7, 1989, in Tacoma, Washington. His zodiac sign is Aquarius, and his ethnicity is African-American. He attended Curtis Senior High School in University Place, Washington, and was named a McDonald's All-American as a senior in 2007. He then attended the University of Washington and declared for the 2011 NBA Draft following his sophomore season. 

Thomas was selected by Sacramento Kings with the 60th overall pick in the draft. After being traded to the Phoenix Suns during his rookie year, he returned to the Kings for two more seasons before signing with Boston Celtics prior to the 2014–15 season. In Boston, he became an All-Star for two straight years, averaging 22.2 points per game during 2016–17 season, leading Celtics to first place in Eastern Conference and earning him third place in MVP voting that year. On August 22nd 2017 Thomas was traded to Cleveland Cavaliers along with Jae Crowder and Ante Zizic and two draft picks for Kyrie Irving.

In July 2019 he signed a one year deal with Washington Wizards but was later traded to Clippers that same month. On February 6th 2020 Thomas announced his retirement from basketball after 11 years in the league.
