Tragic news in the NBA as All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas, Chyna’s sister, was killed in a one-vehicle crash in Washington state. Authorities say Chyna Thomas died at the scene of a crash on Interstate 5 in Federal Way, Washington, early Saturday morning. According to ESPN, Isaiah learned of his sister’s death after attending the Celtics’ afternoon practice.
Another Tacoma, Washington native and teammate, Avery Bradley, apparently pulled Thomas aside during an interview with a reporter. Thomas never returned to speak to the media. Isaiah Thomas is expected to play Sunday when the team opens its first-round playoff series against the Chicago Bulls in Boston on Easter Sunday.
It is not clear when Thomas will travel to Washington to visit grieving family members. Our thoughts go out to the Thomas family at this difficult time. We will let you know when further developments become available.
