LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have nothing but love for Isaiah Thomas, who was unfortunately unable to compete in the final three games of this year's Eastern Conference finals.
Thomas - who further damaged his already-wounded hip in Game 2, thus ending his playoff run - was embraced by James and the rest of the Cavaliers following Cleveland's dominating 135-102 victory to close out the series Thursday night.
The Boston Celtics All-Star competed in the postseason shortly after the death of his younger sister, Chyna, in a tragic car accident. Along with his hip injury, Thomas also had to undergo major oral surgery after an incident that occurred in Game 1 of the second round.
