  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Brooklyn announced Wednesday that Thomas suffered a left hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in three weeks. An MRI on Tuesday revealed the strain and confirmed that the Nets will be without their top offensive option for several weeks. Based on Thomas' re-evaluation date, the earliest possible return date will be Dec. 19 against the Raptors. In Thomas' absence, Dennis Schroder, Ben Simmons and Cameron Johnson could see increased usage, while guys like Keon Johnson and Jalen Wilson could get more opportunities.

• Nets' Cam Thomas: Makes early exit Monday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas didn't return to Monday's 128-120 win over the Warriors after exiting with 6:43 remaining in the third quarter, Brian Lewis of The New York Post reports. "I ended up taking him out because he took a foul, he was tired," head coach Jordi Fernandez said, when asked about Thomas' early exit. "I didn't feel it was right. And I just wanted to protect him from himself." Thomas scored 23 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and added three rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes before checking out midway through the third quarter. Based on Fernandez's comments, Thomas appears to have been dealing with general fatigue more so than a legitimate injury, so the expectation is that the 23-year-old guard will be ready to go for the Nets' next game Wednesday in Phoenix. Thomas missed a game last week with a sore back and had also battled an illness prior to last Friday's game in Philadelphia.

• Nets' Cam Thomas: Explodes for 34 points in upset win

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Thomas ended with 34 points (11-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-11 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 victory over the Kings. Thomas delivered one of his best scoring performances of the season Sunday, carrying the Nets to a huge road win over the Kings. It's not odd to see Thomas taking over games for Brooklyn, however, and he has the absolute green light to fire from any point of the field at any given moment, especially when the Nets are shorthanded like they were Sunday. Thomas has backed up that offensive freedom with excellent numbers. He's averaging 23.6 points, 3.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 steals per game since the beginning of November.
