WASHINGTON - Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas said the teeth he had surgically repaired earlier this week fell out again during Thursday's Game 3, forcing him to miss the start of the second half as a team physician reinserted them.
Thomas lost one of his top front teeth during Sunday's Game 1 win and sustained damage to neighboring teeth when his face hit Otto Porter's elbow. Thomas underwent six hours of oral surgery on Monday and spent another four hours Tuesday in the hospital to reduce the swelling that occurred.
