Head coach Frank Vogel said at the time of his initial signing Thomas would not be in the rotation when the squad is healthy but provides depth in case of injuries or foul trouble.
Thomas was confident in his ability to score when called upon but also to be a positive impact in the locker room as an 11-year vet with playoff experience.
The Suns have four games left in the regular season and continue to fight for a top six spot to avoid the play-in tournament. Phoenix hosts the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday at 7 p.m. before heading to L.A. to face the Clippers again on Wednesday.
