Anthony Davis Sr. says he doesn’t want his son to play for the Celtics

Anthony Davis to the Celtics?

No thank you, says Anthony Davis Sr.

“I would never want my son to play for Boston after what they done to Isaiah Thomas,” Davis Sr. told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne on Friday. “No loyalty. Guy gives his heart and soul and they traded him.”

Davis Sr. is, of course, referencing the Celtics’ decision to include Thomas in a trade package for All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving in August 2017. Just a few months prior to the blockbuster deal, Thomas had led the Celtics to the Eastern Conference Finals in an emotional playoff run that ended unceremoniously at the hands of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
