Watch: Isaiah Thomas’s Son Warms Up Before Celtics’ Game 2, Thomas Pays Tribute To Late Sister

Isaiah Thomas’s young son stole the show before the Boston Celtics’ 129-119 home victory over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night.

The 28-year-old guard and his toddler son Jaden sat in a near-empty press conference room prior to the game, and Thomas pretended to be a reporter and asked Jaden what the best strategy to defend Wizards guard John Wall is.

The youngster had an incredibly endearing set of answers to his father’s questions:

“How do you guard John Wall?” Thomas asked.

“I just work hard,” Jaden replied. “I start to guard John Wall every day.”

Isaiah then asked his child a follow-up question: “He’s really fast so what do you have to do to stop him?”

“Get fast shoes and I would catch him,” Jaden said. “I would block his dunk.”

Thomas’s son became the star of another adorable moment when he was spotted doing warm-up drills with the Celtics’ Jaylen Brown before the win at TD Garden, which gave Boston a 2-0 lead in the second round Eastern Conference series.

Clearly, Jaden is very invested in supporting his father’s NBA career.

Thomas scored a playoff career-high 53 points — the second-highest total in Celtics playoff history — in leading the Celtics to Tuesday’s win, which came on what would have been his late sister Chyna’s 23rd birthday. The guard’s younger sister died in a horrific car accident in Washington nearly three weeks ago, just before the playoffs began.

”The least I can do is go out there and play for her,” said Thomas, who spent about four or five hours in the dentist’s chair having work done on the tooth that was knocked out in Game 1. ”I knew once game-time came, my guys would get me going, get me the energy to go out and win a game. There was no way I was sitting out.”

John Wall contributed 40 points and 13 assists for the Wizards, who will host the Celtics for Game 3 on Thursday.
