The NBA All-Star Game is going to look a little different this year, and might even feature G League stars. The new format came after longtime media scrutiny and a history of lopsided scores. What was a competitive scrimmage against the game's greatest was slowly turning into a cardio session for the basketball world's elite.

Two-time NBA All-Star Isaiah Thomas is making another attempt at a return. According to ESPN Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania, Thomas signed into the G-League on Monday and will be joining the Utah Jazz's affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars. Charania reported that Thomas is expected to make his debut for the Stars sometime this week.

JD Davison has had an impressive season up in Maine with the G League, which is getting rewarded as part of the NBA's Rising Stars event.
