Just when we were getting ready to prep The Isaiah Thomas Party Train, Mike Malone reached over and yanked the hand brake.
“Don’t believe everything you read,” the Nuggets coach said early Saturday night before his team took on the Cleveland Cavaliers when asked about a recent ESPN report that pegged Thomas as returning to action in mid-February.
“I don’t know where these leaks come from, but (with) Isaiah, there’s no timeline. There’s nothing (that has) been set about February, this, that or the other thing. You’ll see him when he’s ready to play.”
Thomas, who’s recovering from hip surgery last March, tweeted early Thursday morning the comment “25 days,” which hinted at perhaps a quicker return than had been projected.
