Isaiah Thomas’ 22-year-old sister, Chyna J. Thomas, passed away in a car accident on Saturday morning.  She died on the scene of the accident.  The incident occurred around 5 am in Tacoma, Washington.  Isaiah decided to play in Sunday’s NBA Playoff game against the Chicago Bulls.  The Boston Celtics point guard led the team to the number 1 spot in the Eastern Conference this season.

Isaiah found out that his younger sister died on Saturday after practice.  Sadly, Chyna was not wearing her seatbelt.  Her vehicle was the only one involved in the accident.  It sounds like she fell asleep while driving.  After drifting off the roadway, Chyna’s 1998 Toyota Camry hit a Jersey barrier.  The collision vaulted the car into a sign post.
