Celtics to Be Minus Thomas for Rest of Playoffs

In the end it might not matter anyway based on games one and two – but the Celtics are now in even more trouble in their series against the Cavs as they will be without guard Isaiah Thomas.

The Celtics announced Saturday that Thomas suffered a “re-aggravation of a right femoral-acetabular impingement with labral tear” during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Thomas initially injured the hip March 15 against Minnesota and missed the next two games. He aggravated the injury in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Washington Wizards last week.

He sat out the second half of Game 2 vs. Cleveland due to what the team called a hip strain. He missed all six of his field goal attempts and scored just two points in 18 minutes of a 130-86 blowout loss.

The Cavs will look to take even more of a commanding lead tomorrow in game three of the Conference Finals in Cleveland at 8:30pm.
