Isiah Thomas, aka "Zeke, who is regarded by many as the most talented player to ever wear the Detroit Pistons' uniform, says he's been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy, a neurological disorder that causes temporary or partial paralysis of the facial muscles on one side of the face.
”I haven’t really told anybody, but I’ve got Bell’s Palsy," Thomas, 63, said during an appearance on 'Come and Talk 2 Me' podcast. "That’s why you see me like this. I appreciate the prayers and love, but that’s what’s happening with my mouth right now. I just want everybody who’s going to be watching your show to know."
Thomas played for the Pistons from 1981 to 1994. He went on to coach the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks.
