Isaiah Thomas always will hold a favorable place in the hearts of Boston Celtics fans. The former Celtic is in Boston with the Denver Nuggets getting ready to square up with the C’s on Monday night at TD Garden. It will be Thomas’ first game back in Boston as an active player since he was traded to Cleveland in 2017. A lot has been made of the trade, from Thomas holding a grudge against Danny Ainge to Anthony Davis Sr. saying he didn’t want his son to play in Boston after what the team did to Thomas. But it seems that everything long has been smoothed out between Thomas and Ainge, with Thomas

Former Cav Isaiah Thomas Pokes Fun At Himself Ahead Of NBA Finals Game 1
Several players who were on the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Opening Night roster will be watching the NBA Finals from the couch, including Isaiah Thomas. The current Los Angeles Lakers point guard was one of five players dealt by the Cavs as part of their fire sale at the trade deadline back in February. But while Thomas’ tenure in Cleveland was short-lived and reportedly very tumultuous, the two-time All-Star isn’t afraid to laugh about the situation. Mere hours before Game 1 of the Finals at Oracle Arena, Thomas posted an Instagram photo from one of his 15 games played with the Cavaliers alongside LeBron James and J.R. Smith, coupled with the capti... NESN.com

Could Isaiah Thomas Return To Celtics In Free Agency? Star Doesn’t Rule It Out
Isaiah Thomas had his best NBA seasons in Boston as a member of the Celtics. And even though he harbored some hard feelings toward the franchise after they traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kyrie Irving last offseason, the electric guard is open to wearing the green and white again. Thomas, who was traded from the Cavs to the Los Angeles Lakers at the NBA trade deadline, held a question and answer session on Twitter on Sunday. When he was asked about returning to Celtics as a free agent this summer, he didn’t shut the idea down. Now that would be something. Thomas averaged 28.9 points for the C’s last season while leading
Isaiah Thomas ‘Tried To Force’ Cavs To Let Him Play On Wednesday
The delay on Isaiah Thomas’ return to the court will continue indefinitely, and it’s not without some brushback from the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard. Thomas has yet to make his debut since being traded from the Boston Celtics over the summer, and his timetable for return often has been up in the air as he’s rehabbed a hip injury. At one point, however, signs were pointing towards a potential return by the end of the calendar year. But on Wednesday, the 28-year-old was ruled out in the Cavs; loss to the Sacramento Kings.

Cavs’ Isaiah Thomas Fires Back At Notion That Kyrie Irving Is More Clutch
Kyrie Irving has been sensational for the Boston Celtics this season, to say the least. But don’t let his play cause you to forget how great Isaiah Thomas was during his time in Boston. ESPN reporter Chris Forsberg recently published an article about how clutch Irving has been since joining the C’s, and compared his crunch-time numbers to those of Thomas. No harm, no foul. However, the headline on ESPN.com read, “Isaiah who? Why Kyrie Irving is Boston’s new king of clutch time.” Assuming Thomas would have something to say about this, Twitter user Zach Pisani tweeted the photo at the Cleveland Cavaliers guard. Thomas took the bait, and offer... NESN.com
