- Isaiah Thomas is undergoing a clean-up of his hip, likely ending his season.

Last July, Isaiah Thomas was coming off a triumphant season in which he led the Boston Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals, averaged over 28 points per game, and proved to be one of the most dynamic scoring guards in the NBA.
On the verge of a contract season, Thomas told CSN New England that he was a "max guy," and that teams, namely the Celtics, would have to "bring out the Brinks truck."See the rest of the story at Business Insider
