Isaiah Thomas will miss the remainder of the postseason after the re-aggravation of a right femoral-acetabular impingement with labral tear, the Celtics announced Saturday.
The injury initially occurred during the third quarter of the Celtics’ March 15 game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which forced him to miss the next two games. The injury was further aggravated in Game 6 of the Washington Wizards series last Friday.
“Isaiah has worked tirelessly to manage this injury since it first occurred,” said Celtics Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brian McKeon in the press release. “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.
