  • On May 7th 2020 I decided to have resurfacing surgery on my right hip to finally fix my bone on bone issue I been dealing with the last 3 years! The Country’s stoppage was a blessing in disguise for me in terms of allowing me to have the time to recover from this surgery and be mentally & physically ready for the upcoming 2020-2021 NBA season. I’m feeling amazing and grinding everyday! My story is far from over, THE MARATHON CONTINUES!!! 🏁🏁🏁

    You made a 26 year old white dude from finland fall in love with basketball with your passion for the game, when you played for boston. My wife saw you play in the playoffs when your sister died and she said to me ”I would like to name our son Thomas” She is no fan, just liked the name, but i will always smile and remember those times when i see him.

      not sure if youve payed attention to his play the last two years but he is no longer a shot creator, isaiah has a fraction of the speed and explosiveness he used to have which was why he was able to do the things he was able to with the celtics. like are you even a fan of his and yet you couldnt see he could barely run?? why would teams take a chance on a undersized player who relied on his athleticism to create shots,which he has none now . you clearly havent watched him play the last couple years or you wouldnt have made a dumb post like that

    Praise God for pro athletes like you! You put God first then family then your love for the game. You deserve respect and commitment from a pro franchise and I pray that you get it. As a Cavs fan I am disappointed by how they cut short your opportunity to heal and shine just like the other franchises! On behalf of Cavs fans I apologize. You inspire me to teach my son to stay strong, persistent and respectful of the game that he aspires to succeed in. He doesn't a have to aspire to grow 6feet or taller to be great. The NBA needs to stop discrimination towards height and truly look at performance when shorter players are healthy. I believe you are a top ten plAyer of this generation, but overlooked and taken for granted because of your height. I pray you get your chance again, much love, blessings & respect for you& family!

I'm a Lakers fan and loved watching you play for the team. I was very disappointed when they moved on but always hoped the very best for you. I love your fighter mentality and the drive you have to do whatever you can to do what you love to do. I'll be watching out for news of your return!

    Good luck Isaiah. I had the same surgery on my right hip done by Dr. Su who is a great surgeon. Mine was in May 2018. I love to play basketball and was back on the court 11 months later. I wasn't in any hurry to return, since I'm not a professional. Prior to the surgery, I could not drive to the basket without great pain. All movement was painful. Since I have started playing again, I have not experienced any pain at any time. So, I know you are going to be successful in your comeback and I hope the Knicks sign you, because we need help at the pg, as I'm sure you know.

However, players get bashed on when they use their freedom to go to their team of choice, but team owners be so quick to trade players like it's nothing. Much Respect IT, you coming back stronger than ever!

    Isiah has exceptional talent. With his injury finally fixed correctly, the way the game is now played would allow him to flourish.
    I think he was unfairly measured after injury to his performance in 2016-17. There aren't many players who average 20+ ppg, so that expectation should not be placed on him. There are many PG currently in the league he is still better than. And oh yes, they can't defend either.
    Rooting for his comeback.

    All Prayers for you man. If you fall again think about you're journey until now it would literally take a 1000 times of pain to make you quit.
