Tyrus told The Advocate: Asked privately and directly if he thought he'd be ready to go, Thomas didn't pause. "No," Thomas said. "I'm gonna try as hard as I can to be ready, but in my heart I don't think I will be. The type of player I am, when I get back out there, I want to go full speed and play as hard as I can. Right now, I'm still a little timid because I don't want to overdo it and end up missing the rest of the season."
