Cavaliers mum on Isaiah Thomas' hip injury during introduction

While introducing their acquisitions from the summer's blockbuster trade, the Cleveland Cavaliers were reluctant to discuss Isaiah Thomas' health during a Thursday news conference.

"To be fair to Isaiah, we're not going to address any specifics on his hip injury," general manager Koby Altman said. "We're also not going to put a timetable on it."

Altman added: "We're not going to rush it, at all."

The state of Thomas' hip during a physical was a holdup in completing the trade that sent Kyrie Iriving back to the Celtics. Boston ultimately agreed to send Cleveland an additional second-round draft pick to complete the swap.
