The $64,000 dollar question has been answered. Isaiah Thomas will make his Cleveland Cavs debut Tuesday night vs Portland and will not play against the Celtics Wednesday night.

Fans will now have to wait until February 11th before the Cavs and Celtics meet to see IT go against his former team.

Cleveland Tyronn Lue says Thomas will come back the bench vs the Trail Blazers and his minutes will be limited as he comes back from the hip injury. Thomas will not play in back-to-back games which rules him out for Wednesday's game at Boston Garden.

The Cavs have scuffled a bit lately, losing four of their last five games.
