Thomas injury concern clouds Cavs-Celtics trade

Uncertainty surrounded the blockbuster trade that sent Kyrie Irving from Cleveland to Boston on Saturday, a day after a physical exam raised concerns about the fitness of former Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas.

The Celtics traded two-time All-Star point guard Thomas, small forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets’ first-round draft pick in 2018 to the Cavaliers for four-time All-Star Irving on Tuesday. But multiple US media outlets reported on Saturday that a hip injury suffered by Thomas in last season’s playoffs was causing the Cavaliers concern. ESPN reported that officials of the teams were to talk on Saturday, and Cleveland could request further compensation from Boston before approving the trade.
