Isaiah Thomas has been diagnosed with a mild left ankle sprain, according to Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens.
Brad Stevens: "The only thing that I was told is that on that play in the fourth quarter he twisted his ankle. Mild ankle sprain."

While Stevens wouldn't speculate on Thomas' status for Game 6, it would surprising if he didn't play given that Boston is on the brink of elimination. After the game, the point guard said that he would be ready.

The Celtics All-Star hurt his ankle early in the fourth quarter with the Celtics down by 31. After going in for a layup, Thomas landed awkwardly and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter.
