Report: Cavs weighing completion of trade following Thomas physical

It's about to get extremely messy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are weighing the completion of their blockbuster trade with the Boston Celtics after conducting a physical on Isaiah Thomas, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

One source characterized Thomas' hip injury as a "very sensitive situation." Thomas had been rehabbing his injury all offseason but he has yet to even begin a regimen of running with training camp only three weeks away.

All players must pass their physical or a trade can be voided. No final decision has been made by the Cavs.

Earlier this week, the two East giants agreed to a deal wherein Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, and a 2018 first-round pick belonging to the Brooklyn Nets were shipped to Cleveland in exchange for disgruntled star Kyrie Irving.

Thomas' hip issue was known at the time of the deal. Celtics coach Brad Stevens said on Monday that the Celtics needed a full examination before clearing him for training camp. Following the competition of the trade, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge reiterated the point and said Thomas would probably be delayed to start the year.

The 28-year-old played through his injury from mid-March onward before bowing out in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers. He did not have surgery this offseason.

Cleveland's hope is that Thomas can replicate Irving's scoring, while the club also nets three useful assets in the process. But if Thomas' health is in jeopardy, then the Cavaliers may have to look elsewhere. The 5-foot-9 point guard only has one year left on his current deal, and the Cavaliers cannot afford to be shorthanded as they prepare another Finals run.

Thomas earned All-NBA second team honors last season with averages of 28.9 points and 5.9 assists for a Celtics team that clinched the first seed in the Eastern Conference.
