Thomas will be active for Friday's game against Portland, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Thomas was acquired by the Sixers on Tuesday and Friday's game against Portland will be the first chance he has to play since the signing. He's expected to play a limited role off the bench, although Philadelphia is currently dealing with a wave of injuries that may ultimately open up some opportunities for Thomas to play a larger role than at any other point in his four-year career, albeit still limited.
