Thomas (back) will not play until Monday at Brooklyn at the earliest, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports. Thomas said he's feeling better, but coach Brad Stevens ruled him out for the team's next three games, beginning with Wednesday's meeting with Oklahoma City. Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart should continue to see mild value boosts in the meantime, with Phil Pressey seeing some extra minutes off the bench.
