Thomas, who sat out the fourth quarter of Sunday night’s 121-104 win against the Detroit Pistons, denied that he called out Cavs teammate Kevin Love.
Per Cleveland.com:
“We’ve been a lowest five defensive team in the NBA the whole time, so when I come back, it’s my fault now,” Thomas said. “Which, life isn’t fair, but that’s not fair, bro. At all.”
“You called out Kevin this week”
“To be real, I didn’t call him out,” Thomas said.
“I asked him why wasn’t he at the game during the game supporting his teammates. And then after the game, I didn’t ask him because he wasn’t there. So I was seeing where he was. So I didn’t call him out any. So those reports that whoever is saying that, there’s no bad blood between me and him. We go back to fifth and sixth grade. I asked him a question where he was and it was never clarified. And that’s all it was.”
