09/07/2017 NBA Note - Cleveland Cavaliers
Thomas, Isaiah
PG Isaiah Thomas was introduced during a Thursday news
conference, but the team went to great lengths to avoid shedding
much light on the All-Star guard's injured right hip. "To be
fair to Isaiah, we're not going to address any specifics on his
hip injury," Altman said of Thomas, who joined Jae Crowder and
Ante Zizic in being introduced as the newest members of the
Cavaliers on the heels of the summer's blockbuster trade that
sent Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics. "We're also not going
to put a timetable on it," Altman said. "... We're not going to
rush it, at all." Thomas said that he is "just getting treatment
each and every day" and working in the weight room. The
28-year-old Thomas suffered the injury during this year's
playoffs while playing for the Celtics. He finished third in the
NBA with an average of 28.9 points in 2016-17.
