It’s hard for some people to understand how pro athletes like Isaiah Thomas compete after the death of a loved one … but L.A. Clippers player Raymond Felton summed it up pretty perfectly.
Felton lost his grandmother earlier this year and tells TMZ Sports he can completely relate to Thomas — whose sister died in a tragic car crash last month.
“I understand the grief. I understand what he’s feeling, what he’s going through.”
So, why is it so important for athletes like Raymond to get back on the court?? Love.
