Isaiah Thomas' wait to figure out where he will be playing next season hasn't done anything to impact his drive to keep playing at an All-Star level.
Speaking to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Thomas said he is "not damaged" and will "be the same player" who led the Boston Celtics to the best record in the Eastern Conference last season:
"There's never been an indication that I wouldn't be back, and there's never been an indication that this is something messing up my career. Maybe I am not going to be back as soon this season as everyone wants me to be, but I'm going to be back, and I'm going to be the same player again.
