Celtics' Isaiah Thomas forced to miss start of second half due to missing teet
"They're temporary, so if they get hit, they might crack, they might come out," Thomas said.
Per ESPN, Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas said the teeth he had surgically repaired earlier this week fell out again during Thursday's Game 3 against the Washington Wizards, forcing him to miss the start of the second half as a team physician reinserted them.
"[My teeth] came out. I had to get them back in," Thomas said when asked about missing the start of the second half. Marcus Smart started the third quarter in his place, but Thomas returned just 1 minute, 40 seconds into the second half.
"They're temporary, so if they get hit, they might crack, they might come out," Thomas said. "I can't get any permanent teeth in until the season is over. It is what it is."
