Thomas was waived by the Pistons on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was an All-Star for the Pistons' D-League affiliate last season, but has not played in the NBA since the end of the 2013-14 season. He suffered a calf muscle injury during his preseason run, which sidelined him for several games and didn't help his chances of making the 15-man roster.

Thomas is dealing with an injury to his calf muscle, not his Achilles' tendon, as was previously suggested, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was able to return to the court Tuesday against the Pacers, playing 10 minutes in what was his preseason debut, but it sounds like he may have suffered a setback. He can ill afford to miss any further time during training camp, as he's far from a lock to win a roster spot.

Thomas missed Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers with an Achilles injury, Rob Beard of the Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was scheduled to receive an MRI on the injury Monday, but the severity of the ailment isn't yet known. The forward is only with the Pistons on a camp invite and has little margin for error if he hopes to come away with an opening-night roster spot.

The 76ers are expected to sign swingman Adonis Thomas to a 10-day contract on Monday.
Thomas went undrafted this summer but he's already had one 10-day stint with the Magic, during which he averaged 1.8 points in four games. Philly's revolving door of free agents and D-Leaguers is spinning as fast as ever while the regular season draws mercifully to a close.

The Magic have signed Adonis Thomas to a second 10-day contract.
Like they did with Dewayne Dedmon, the Magic decided to re-up Thomas to a second 10-day deal in advance of the Thursday deadline. Thomas has only played 14 minutes over the course of two games with the Magic, so his fantasy value is literally limited to the deepest league out there.

Orlando Magic sign F Adonis Thomas.
Thomas joins fellow 10-day contract recipient Dewayne Dedmon as the 13th and 14th players on Orlando's roster and will be available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards. While he has been effective in the the D-League, Thomas won't immediately be part of the Magic's rotation and can be left on waiver wires.

Adonis Thomas will sign a 10-day deal with the Magic on Monday and will be available to play on Tuesday vs. the Wizards.
He's having a solid campaign in the D-League this year, averaging 16.2 points, 4.2 boards, 0.9 steals and 1.5 turnovers with the Springfield Armor. Thomas has back-to-back 21-point games and is improving, but he's still not projected to be in the rotation right away.
