Boston Celtics welcome back Isaiah Thomas against Miami Heat

Guard Isaiah Thomas will return from injury for the Boston Celtics against the Miami Heat tonight.

Thomas has missed the last eight games with a back injury, which he coincidently suffered against Miami earlier this month.

The 26-year-old joined the Celtics five weeks ago from the Phoenix Suns, and scored a record 243 points in his first 10 games.

He is expected to replace James Wade in the Celtics team.
