(AP) — Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas says it’s too early to tell if he needs surgery on his right hip, an injury that caused him to miss the last three games of the Eastern Conference finals against Cleveland.

Meanwhile, it appears unlikely that Preakness winner Cloud Computing will run in the Belmont.
