Isaiah Thomas will miss the remainder of the playoffs because of a hip injury, according to the Celtics’ website. The team called the ailment a re-aggravation of a right femoral-acetabular impingement with labral tear.
“Isaiah has worked tirelessly to manage this injury since it first occurred,” said Celtics Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian McKeon. “The swelling increased during the first two games against Cleveland, and in order to avoid more significant long-term damage to his hip, we could no longer allow him to continue.”
Thomas first injured his hip back in March and it forced him to miss two starts. He aggravated the injury in Boston’s Game 6 loss to the Wizard before re-aggravating it again during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday.
The team added that the point guard is currently evaluating treatment options. The Celtics traveled to Cleveland to play Game 3 and Game 4 of the series, but Thomas did not make the trip.
He seemed a step slow after the first couple of games against WAS. Don’t think this impacts the CLE series at all!
They will get swept dude
So does that mean Cleveland will break their own record and win by 54 next game
Cleveland will sweep Boston! Bye Bye!!! Try again next year!
Cry baby
Where is my four call???
No chance for Boston now
Get the brooms out.
Oh no! Now the series goes 4 games instead of… 4 games! Grab Hayward and Butler and try next year.
