Isaiah Thomas to return for tonight's game against the Washington Wizards



According to Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens, Isaiah Thomas will be returning for tonight's game against the Washington Wizards after sitting out the past 2 games with a bruised knee:



The Celtics went 1-1 in his absence, defeating the Brooklyn Nets and falling to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Tonight's game, which is scheduled to tip off at 7:30 PM, could get a little chippy, as the two teams have had some scuffles previously this year, and are currently in a close race for the #2 spot in the East.
