The sister of Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas was killed in a single-car accident Saturday morning in Federal Way, Washington.

According to the News Tribune's Craig Sailor, Chyna J. Thomas, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident after the 1998 Toyota Camry careened into a barrier after the car drifted into the shoulder.

"That vaulted the vehicle head-on into the sign post," State Patrol spokesman Trooper Nick King said, per Sailor.

According to Washington State Patrol, Thomas was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.

"We are terribly saddened by the tragic loss of Chyna Thomas," the Celtics said in a statement Saturday, according to ESPN.com's Chris Forsberg. "The thoughts and prayers of the entire Celtics organization are with Isaiah and his family."

BOSTON (AP) -- Celtics coach Brad Stevens says it is point guard Isaiah Thomas' "intention to play" Sunday in Game 1 of Boston's first-round playoff matchup with the Chicago Bulls, a day after his sister was killed in a car accident.

Stevens said Thomas went through the pregame shootaround, but added he's been emotional and it's up to him to decide whether he ultimately plays. Thomas received word that younger sister Chyna Thomas died early Saturday in a one-car interstate accident in their home state of Washington. She was 22.


The Celtics' All-Star guard was informed of her death following the team's practice Saturday afternoon.

Since then, condolences have poured in from around the league, from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and various players and friends.

Thomas grew up in Tacoma, Washington, and starred at the University of Washington.
