Wizards' Isaiah Thomas Expected to Miss 6-8 Weeks for Thumb Surgery Recovery

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas will miss six to eight weeks after undergoing surgery on his thumb, the team announced.

"This was an unfortunate setback for Isaiah, but with his resolve and the top care he will receive from our medical team, we expect him to make a full recovery," general manager Tommy Sheppard said. "In the meantime, he will continue to mentor our young guards and have a positive impact on the team as we start training camp."

The Athletic's Fred Katz reported Thomas injured the thumb Monday while playing a pickup game.
