Isaiah Thomas leaves Game 2 early with hip injury

BOSTON — Isaiah Thomas left the floor with the rest of the Boston Celtics at halftime of the teams Game 2 loss, like the rest of his teammates disappointed and downtrodden.

Unlike the rest of his teammates, he did not return to play in the second half of the historic blowout loss suffered by the green Friday night.

"He's had a nagging hip injury," said Brad Stevens of the Celtics star point guard, "he aggravated it pretty significantly on Friday in Washington Game 6."

Stevens added that Thomas was "pretty despondent" about not being able to return to the game.
