Cam Thomas Sidelined 3-4 Weeks
4 months agoBrooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) could be sidelined for up to a month. The 23-year-old had 34 points in Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings. However, he injured his hamstring in Monday's win over the Golden State Warriors. Thomas has had a career-year, averaging 24.7 points and shooting 38.9% from behind the arc. But he's had trouble staying healthy over the years, which could mean the team will play it safe by not rushing him back. Even then, Thomas may need to log fewer minutes in order to stay on the court. At any rate, Cameron Johnson and Dennis Schroder are the favorites to pick up the slack offensively. Ziaire Williams, amassing 19 points versus the Warriors, is worth keeping an eye on for streaming purposes, assuming he continues to play well. Lastly, Ben Simmons could also benefit from Thomas' absence, although he hasn't played in consecutive games this season.

Cam Thomas Returns To Nets Lineup Friday
1 month agoBrooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) will be back on the court Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The team has removed him from the injury report ahead of the game. Thomas last saw action on Jan. 2, missing 24 games due to a hamstring injury. Before going down, Thomas enjoyed a big start to the season, averaging a career-high 24.7 points. He will immediately become Brooklyn's top scoring option again, though the team might monitor Thomas' workload following his extended layoff. Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin will likely have to settle for lesser roles in the rotation now that Thomas is back.

Cam Thomas Nearing A Return?
1 month agoBrooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) remains out on Saturday against the 76ers. The 2021 No. 27 overall pick has had the best season of his career, averaging 24.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. However, he's appeared in only two games since the November 25 win over the Golden State Warriors. On a positive note, Thomas has resumed 5-on-5 practice sessions. "Recovery is going great," said Thomas recently. "Can't wait to get back on the court." The Nets are currently on the outside of a Play-In berth, so the team hopes to get him back in the lineup as soon as possible. But with D'Angelo Russell (ankle) sidelined, Brooklyn will rely mostly on Cameron Johnson, Keon Johnson, Trendon Watford, and Nicolas Claxton for production.

Cam Thomas To Undergo Testing On Wednesday
2 months agoBrooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo additional testing on Wednesday. Afterwards, the Nets are expected to give a better timetable on the possible return of Thomas. He has been out since early January, but hopefully won't be missing much more action. Thomas has reportedly been doing on-court and non-contact workouts, which means he should be inching closer to a return. The expectation is that Thomas is going to be under a minutes limit once he is cleared to play. In the meantime, Keon Johnson should continue benefiting with increased playing time.
