The Los Angeles Lakers announced Isaiah Thomas will undergo arthroscopic surgery to his right hip on Thursday. While more information will be provided upon completion of the procedure, it can safely be presumed Thomas will not play again this season.
Thomas missed the final two games on the Lakers’ road trip due to hip soreness, and he traveled to New York on Monday to meet with doctors and evaluate options.
His 2017-18 campaign was delayed due to a lengthy rehab process from a hip injury sustained during the Boston Celtics’ playoff run last season. He was not seen after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which the Cleveland Cavaliers went on to win in five games.
