Atlanta: So, Isiah Thomas, the basketball legend, just shared some personal news. He revealed on a podcast that he’s been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. It’s a condition that affects the muscles on one side of the face.
He mentioned that he’s been getting a lot of love and support from fans, which is really nice. He said, “I appreciate the prayers and the love.” It’s tough to see someone you admire going through something like this.
During his appearance on NBA TV, he reassured everyone that it’s a temporary situation. He’s staying positive and showing up for work, which is pretty inspiring. He said, “It’s gonna get better over time.”
For those who don’t know, Bell’s palsy can cause weakness in facial muscles, but it usually improves with time. Thomas isn’t the only one; Joel Embiid had a similar diagnosis last spring during the playoffs.
Isiah Thomas is a big deal in basketball. He played for the Detroit Pistons and won two NBA titles. He’s also a Hall of Famer, so it’s great to see him being open about his health. Let’s hope he gets better soon!
