Celtics' Isaiah Thomas (knee) to miss two games

Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas (knee bruise) will be sidelined for the next two games.

What It Means:

He won't be travelling with the team for the weekend, and Marcus Smart will likely move back into the starting lineup, while Terry Rozier should also see some increased minutes off the bench. Expect Thomas to be ready for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Thomas is averaging a career-high 29.2 points to go with 6.0 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 34.1 minutes per game this season. He leads Celtics players and ranks 4th in the NBA with a 14.3 nERD.
