Isaiah Thomas received a standing ovation in his return to Boston
Isaiah Thomas hinted that he had buried the hatchet with Celtics President Danny Ainge.
Isaiah Thomas got a standing ovation in his return to Boston on Wednesday night.
Thomas, who played for the Cavaliers the previous night against the Blazers but was out of the lineup for Cleveland's matchup against the Celtics, received a warm welcome when he was shown on the Jumbotron at the TD Garden before the start of the second quarter.
Ahead of his return, Thomas had requested that the Celtics forgo playing a tribute video they had prepared for the former Boston point guard. But even without a video to cue them, the crowd was still ready to thank him for his time with the team.
