Isaiah Thomas Says He's '80 Percent' After Returning to Cavs from Hip Injury

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas told reporters Friday he's feeling "80 percent" after making his regular-season debut Tuesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.

"Like, I'm not in any type of shape," Thomas said, according to ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin. "And then on top of where I want to be physically, I'm not as powerful as I want to be and explosive. But that's going to come with a lot of [practice] reps and game repetitions. So, I'm getting close, but it will probably take a while until I feel like I did last season.
