Here’s the moment I.T. found out he was traded
With the Cleveland Cavaliers gearing up for their big Christmas Day showdown against the Golden State Warriors, Isaiah Thomas is on the verge of returning to the team. While many are holding out hope for a season debut on Monday, we’re expected the all-star point guard to return a few games later in a calmer environment. This week, The Players’ Tribune released a docu-series with Thomas, which followed him all summer after the unfortunate death of his sister last May.
I.T. essentially was in love with the city of Boston and its franchise so much; that he wore his team shirt during most of last summer. That was until he received a phone call from team president and general manager, Danny Ainge, revealing he was traded from the Boston Celtics.
Take a look at the emotional clip below, which he kept his composure in-front of cameras.
