Isaiah Thomas: “For three years, I tried to challenge the best players in the world on one leg”

He regularly intervenes on social networks during these playoffs, and the good news is that Isaiah Thomas is finally at 100% of his physical means, and we could therefore see him again on a field next season. That’s what he just announced to ESPN. He operated on his hip five months ago, and he no longer feels any pain.

« It’s day and night for me. I have no more pain, and I regained all my mobility »Assures the former All-Star point guard. ” For three years, I tried to challenge the best players in the world on one leg. In the morning, I needed the help of my children to put on my socks. Today I can lift weights. I can do squats. I can train twice a day. I can cut to the basket, stop and then resume… I feel like I’m 31 again, and there is scientific evidence to show it. »

31-year-old Isaiah Thomas spent the season with the Wizards before being traded to the Clippers and then being cut. It was seven months ago, and rather than struggling again, he took advantage of the break to have his surgery once and for all, and the surgeon fitted him with an artificial prosthesis.

« In a way, the Covid-related break was a boon to my career He admits. ” It allowed me to take time for the operation, and get back to the physical level needed to play in the NBA. I made the right choice, and I can’t wait to show people that I can still be productive for a team. »
