Cavs' Thomas to star as himself on episode of 'Law and Order: SVU'

"In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit."

One of the upcoming stories on "Law and Order: SVU" will involve new Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Isaiah Thomas, as NBC confirmed Tuesday that he'll be appearing on an episode portraying himself, according to Cleveland.com's Mark Dawidziak.

It will air on WKYC Channel 3, most likely in late October.

The two-time All-Star is currently recovering from a hip injury he aggravated during the Eastern Conference finals as a member of the Boston Celtics. He was recently traded to the Cavaliers in late August in a deal involving Kyrie Irving.

Thomas also recently filmed an episode of Nickelodeon's "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn" series alongside his two sons, James and Jaiden.
