Thomas (back) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Jay King of MassLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Thomas, who has missed eight games with a bruised tailbone and elbow stemming from a hard fall, hasn't played any 5-on-5 since the injury, but he'll attempt to gut it out and play Wednesday as the Celtics battle for playoff positioning. "He's going to try to play," coach Brad Stevens said. "We'll see how that goes." While Thomas' willingness to play is admirable, he's probably best avoided in daily formats, as it's possible he'll be limited by the injury.
