Thomas won't play in Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained left ankle.
Thomas has picked up a sprained ankle recently, and the issue will prevent him from appearing in Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old guard has been ice cold from the field recently, averaging 5.8 points on 21.2 percent shooting across 21.0 minutes over his last four games. Nolan Traore (illness) is also out, so look for Terance Mann and Ben Saraf to see more playing time. Thomas' next chance to play will come Tuesday at Phoenix.

Rotowire
Thomas is out for Monday's game against the Suns due to left hamstring injury management.
Monday is the second half of a back-to-back set for the Nets, who are giving Thomas a maintenance day.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Limited again Friday
Rotowire
Thomas notched eight points (3-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and four assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over Chicago.
Thomas played no more than 25 minutes for the ninth straight game since returning from injury, ending the night with very little for fantasy managers to get excited about. At this point, it doesn't appear as though Brooklyn is going to prioritize Thomas, instead hoping he lands elsewhere prior to the trade deadline. As for his fantasy value, he should be viewed as nothing more than a points and threes streaming option.

Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Thomas closed with 10 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to the Magic.
Thomas had a tough time getting his shot to drop against Orlando's gritty defense, but on the plus side, this was the most minutes he's logged since coming back from the hamstring injury. He also added a block to his stat line Wednesday night, accounting for his second blocked shot of the season and the 35th of his career.

Rotowire
Thomas totaled 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound and one assist in 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 loss to the Rockets.
Thomas turned in an efficient performance and led the Nets in scoring from the bench, albeit in a losing effort. The 24-year-old guard is still seemingly on a minutes restriction following a 20-game absence due to a hamstring strain, though he saw a slight bump in playing time compared to his first two outings after the extended absence. Over his last three appearances, Thomas has averaged 21.3 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Catches fire in return
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) generated 30 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four assists and three rebounds across 20 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 123-107 win over the Timberwolves.
It was Thomas's first game action since Nov. 5, but he didn't have to shake off any rust. He put on a show, notching his third 30-point performance in nine appearances this season despite playing just 20 minutes. While the Nets will likely continue to ease Thomas into a starter's workload, Saturday's contest showed his huge fantasy upside.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Still out with hamstring strain
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Thomas remains in recovery mode due to a strained left hamstring, and he can be considered week-to-week. His continued absence should keep Terance Mann and Egor Demin in more prominent roles in the backcourt.

Nets' Cam Thomas: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) has been cleared for on-court work and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Thomas recently underwent an MRI that showed he's making solid progress in his recovery from a left hamstring strain, and him getting cleared for on-court work is a big step in his recovery. Tyrese Martin, Egor Demin and Terance Mann will likely continue to divvy up Thomas' minutes, while Noah Clowney should remain more involved on the offensive end.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Pistons, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Thomas will need to miss at least one contest after exiting Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left hamstring tightness. The severity of his injury remains uncertain, but the star guard's next chance to play comes Sunday against the Knicks. Rookie first-rounder Egor Demin could get an opportunity in the first unit in Thomas' stead Friday.

Rotowire
Thomas has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to left hamstring tightness, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Thomas will depart the contest scoreless on two field goal attempts in six minutes. A singular assist marked his only counting stat.

Thomas's next chance to play will come Friday against Detroit.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Returns to action Sunday
Rotowire
Thomas (face) returned in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Spurs, per the broadcast.
Thomas went to the locker room late in the first half after sustaining a facial cut, with Jalen Wilson starting the second half in his place. However, the guard returned to action at the 8:32 mark of the third quarter, though with the Nets facing a large deficit, the team may opt to rest him down the stretch in the fourth quarter.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Explodes for 33 points in loss
Rotowire
Thomas delivered 33 points (12-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and nine assists across 35 minutes in Friday's 131-124 loss to the Cavaliers.
Thomas was largely inefficient in the season opener after scoring 15 points but shooting 2-for-9 from the floor. He didn't have that problem in this loss, and Thomas should be one of the Nets' primary offensive weapons on a game-to-game basis. Thomas is expected to have the license to shoot at will and let it fly from anywhere on the court, so he might be a valuable fantasy option even if the team struggles throughout the campaign.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores 15 inefficient points
Rotowire
Thomas produced 15 points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-13 FT), two assists, one rebound, one block and two turnovers in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to the Hornets.
Thomas is essentially the only player on this Brooklyn team who can create his own shot, so he's going to get all the looks he can handle this season. He could score in bunches with regularity, but his value may be limited, as he rarely brings peripheral stats to the box score.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Busy at free-throw line Sunday
Rotowire
Thomas scored a team-high 16 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT) while adding four rebounds, an assist and a block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 111-109 preseason win over the Suns in Macao.
The fifth-year guard continues to put together a productive exhibition schedule as one of the focal points of the Nets' offense along with Michael Porter. Thomas will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason, so he has extra motivation to improve on the career-best 24.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.3 boards and 2.7 threes he averaged in 2024-25, albeit in only 25 regular-season games.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores efficient 22 points
Rotowire
Thomas produced 22 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Suns.
Thomas ultimately settled for a one-year qualifying offer to stay with the Nets in early September, and he's all set to reprise his role as the team's top scoring option in 2025-26. The 2021 first-rounder will be aiming to improve as a playmaker, and his six dimes Friday are certainly an encouraging sight in that regard. Health remains a concern for Thomas, given that he's never played more than 67 regular-season games in his career.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Signs qualifying offer
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) signed his one-year, $6 million qualifying offer with the Nets on Thursday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Thomas and the Nets were unable to reach a long-term agreement. By signing this qualifying offer, Thomas will have a full no-trade clause and will be able to hit unrestricted free agency next offseason. Charania notes that at least 10 NBA teams will be positioned to have ample cap space, and Thomas will have plenty of motivation to produce a big season. Thomas averaged 24.0 points, 3.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 31.2 minutes per game last season, but he appeared in only 25 regular-season contests because of hamstring injuries.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Out for rest of season
Rotowire
The Nets announced Saturday that Thomas has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and is expected to miss the remainder of 2024-25 campaign.
Thomas had already been ruled out Saturday and is unlikely to suit up again this season with Brooklyn sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference and only four weeks remaining in the regular season. Thomas has already missed 41 games in 2024-25 due to left hamstring injuries, so the Nets will opt to play it cautiously and allow the 23-year-old guard to fully recover. Tyrese Martin and Keon Johnson will likely receive increased playing time for the remainder of the campaign.

Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is out for Saturday's game versus the Celtics due to left hamstring injury management, Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily.com reports.
Thomas will sit out the first leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back Saturday as the team will opt to play it cautiously with his hamstring issue. Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Thomas' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Atlanta.
