Isaiah Thomas, about his sad departure from the Boston Celtics: "It hurt me that they didn't explain anything to me"

Isaiah Thomas, former player of the Boston Celtics, has stated that he harbors no resentment towards the franchise for how his time there concluded. However, Thomas expressed that the Celtics could have handled the situation in a better way.

"What hurt me the most was that nothing was explained to me. If you tell me: 'This could worsen, this is what you have,' then it's my decision to take the risk. But none of that was told to me," Thomas commented. "I kept pushing forward thinking, 'Okay, I have a bone bruise, I can handle it like I have done my whole life.' I was injected to play the series against the Wizards, I was injected three times, once each round. The last one was right before Game 7 against the Wizards. Then, in Game 2 of the series against Cleveland, I got hit with a screen, and I felt intense pain in the back of my hip, and thought, 'What the hell?'"

Despite the tough ending to his time in Boston, Thomas assured that he still holds a great respect for everyone within the Boston Celtics organization.

"It took me three years to get back to being myself and understand what was happening. But it was a tough situation," Thomas admitted. "It was a learning experience for me. I have a true love for Boston and everyone in that organization, but it definitely was not the right way to handle things."
