Though Isaiah Thomas has had his ups and downs over the past two seasons, one player in particular is confident that he can return to his former All-Star-caliber form: Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving.
Following the Celtics’ 114-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets in Thomas’s return to TD Garden on Monday night, Irving was asked to share his thoughts on the former Boston star point guard before him. Irving was empathetic toward the tough situation Thomas has been faced with since the two swapped teams in the summer of 2017 and praised the success that the 5-foot-9-inch guard enjoyed as a member of the Boston Celtics.
