The Celtics fell apart in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Finals clash with the Cavaliers but that may not be their only concern. As Chris Forsberg of ESPN details, All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas left the game with a hip strain after the first half and didn’t return.
The injury may not be a new one, however, and Chris Mannix of the Vertical tweets that, per Danny Ainge, Thomas even went to a hospital for tests on the same hip following Game 6 of the C’s Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup against the Wizards. Within the C’s organization, Mannix tweets, there were doubts that he would even play in Game 7 of that series.
The club will know more about Thomas’ prognosis ahead of Game 3 after the guard is evaluated on Saturday, Forsberg tweets.
Although the game was well out of reach when Thomas was ultimately shelved, the big question surrounding Boston now is whether or not they’ll have their leading scorer when the series shifts back to Cleveland.
gonna go out on a limb and say it doesnt matter if he plays or not, this series is over. Cleveland in 3!
You mean Cleveland in 4? I’m pretty sure they have to win 4. Not trying to correct you, I’m actually curious if this is a best of 5 series. I do agree with you that it doesn’t matter if he plays or not. This series is over.
It’s a best of 7 series just like the Wizards series!
I think it was a joke based on how dominant the Cavaliers of been
I think he meant Cleveland in ONE.
Stupidity is now on the record.!.
