Isaiah Thomas: Will not undergo hip surgery

While not a surprise, the news that Thomas will not need hip surgery should come
as a relief for both the Celtics and Thomas. The point guard suffered the injury
in March and aggravated it during the playoffs, costing him the final three
games of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers. According to
Celtics’ General Manager, Danny Ainge, Thomas is “…out on the court; he’s
shooting. He’s full-speed ahead on the stationary bike and working in the
swimming pool. He’s progressing nicely.” Several hip specialists have reportedly
evaluated Thomas, determining that he should be able to rejoin the team at the
beginning of training camp barring any unforeseen setbacks.
