Thomas agreed Monday on a contract with Greek club Panathinaikos, Dimitris Minaretzis of Eurohoops.net reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old Thomas has been available on the open market since July, after the Bulls declined his $2.09 million qualifying offer following the 2021-22 season. After weighing his options, Thomas is opting to return to Europe, where he spent the first two years of his professional career before making the move to the NBA in 2019-20. In his third NBA season in 2021-22, Thomas appeared in 40 games for Chicago and averaged 4.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 11.5 minutes per contest.

Thomas (leg) is out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Bucks.

Thomas (lower leg) won't be available Sunday for Game 1 of the Bulls' first-round series with the Bucks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas was listed as questionable on the NBA's official injury report heading into the day, but he'll remain sidelined as the Bulls begin postseason play. Even if he had been healthy for the series opener with Milwaukee, Thomas was unlikely to be included in head coach Billy Donovan's rotation. Thomas finished the regular season with averages of 4.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 11.5 minutes per game while shooting 38.5 percent from downtown over his 40 appearances for Chicago.

EDGE Analysis
Game 1 of the Bulls' first-round playoff series with the Bucks is still four days away, but Thomas' absence from practice isn't a promising early sign for his availability. Thomas missed the Bulls' final four regular-season contests with a right lower leg contusion.
