The whirlwind continues for Isaiah Thomas, as he plans to fulfill his remarkably full and difficult schedule this weekend. After the Celtics beat the Chicago Bulls in Game 6 Friday night, Thomas began preparations to fly out to his hometown of Tacoma, Washington to attend his sister Chyna’s funeral Saturday.
Considering the return trip would account for about eight hours when factoring in the time zone change, Thomas making it back in time for the 1pm ET tip in Game 1 of the second round series against the Washington Wizards is a difficult task.
But according to Jae Crowder, Thomas told his teammates he will pull it off.
