Cavs-Celtics trade had a brief moment of suspense because of Isaiah Thomas and his hip. Cavs put the trade on pause and the Celtics gave them another one of their draft picks and the deal was cleared.
There’s a lot of talk around IT’s hip and now it looks like the chatter is going to go up by a thousand.
The Athletic reported IT’s injury could linger until All-Star break.
“No one is willing to put a timeline on when Thomas might return to the court. The fact he isn’t running yet certainly is not a good sign. One source with experience dealing with the type of hip problems Thomas is facing predicted it could be January or even the All-Star break before Thomas returns to game action. That doesn’t leave much time for a new player to establish chemistry and rhythm with a team trying to compete for a championship.”
Welp, at least the Cavs have Derrick Rose.
