Thomas plays despite tragedy
Print Edition
BOSTON Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas made an emotional return to the court on Sunday, a day after his sister Chyna had been killed in a car crash.
With the words “Chyna, R.I.P Lil Sis‚“ written on his green left shoe, and the date of her death on the right, Thomas was in tears on the bench ahead of their playoff game against Chicago and during a moment of silence before the national anthem. The two-time NBA All Star gathered himself once he took the court and received vocal support from the capacity 18,000-plus crowd at TD Garden in Boston.
Thomas, who top-scored with 33 points, almost lifted the Eastern Conference top seeds to victory with two late baskets in their best-of-7 first-round series opener against the Bulls, who won 106-102.
Chyna Thomas, 22, died in a single-car accident in Washington on Saturday.
