Cavaliers trading Isaiah Thomas for Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance

The Isaiah Thomas experiment is over in Cleveland. The Cavaliers traded the point guard and forward Channing Frye to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday for guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Larry Nance, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Lakers also get the Cavaliers' protected first-round pick in 2018. The trade deadline is at 3 p.m. ET Thursday.

Thomas was acquired from the Celtics in August in the bigger deal for Kyrie Irving, who had said he wanted out of Cleveland.

Thomas was rehabbing from a hip injury and ended up only playing 15 games for the Cavs.
