Cam Thomas' season is over.
The Nets' main scorer again injured his left hamstring this time between 2024 and 25.
He ends the season and heads for restricted free agency – he averages 24 points but only plays 25 games.
“The injury occurred during a Thursday night game in Chicago,” Brooklyn said in a statement against champion Boston at home games on Saturday. “Given the number of days left in the schedule and the time needed to recover properly, we expect Thomas to miss the rest of the season.”
Thomas suffered his first injury on November 25th. He was defeated by a victory over Golden State and was separated by a victory in the words of manager Jordi Fernandez, “protecting him from himself.”
He missed the next month.
After returning to the abbreviation, the cameo was defeated in Orlando on December 29th and his victory in Milwaukee on January 2nd, where Thomas re-examined it and was out for nearly two months.
Finally returning to February 28th, Thomas appeared in six of the last eight online games coming in Saturday, resting on one end of both consecutive backs.
Thomas doubled his first career in Chicago on Thursday, earning his first career with 24 points and a career-high 10 assists.
But it will be his swan song for the season.
After scoring 15 points in four-nine years, he scored 15 points on eight assists in the first half of Thursday before notching plus 15 and leading the net to a 65-62 lead with a break.
He was minus 10 as he had just nine points on four-fourths off the floor and two assists, overtaking 54-45.
Two nights ago in Cleveland, Thomas scored 15 points in six-nine shots, finding Brooklyn on a 65-50 cushion.
However, after the break he posted minus 12 as he scored 11 points on four-thirds from the floor and outscored 59-41.
“The first half was an impressive second half, and I ran off the gas a bit in the second half, and it's probably a matter of going out for two months and trying to make him a play form,” Fernandez said in Chicago. “He's going to get there. But he has to do what he did in the first half of the last two games. He's impressive.”
Now, Thomas is finishing the season with 25 appearances for free agency.
“At this point, I'm not really worried about it,” Thomas said. “I just want to finish strong for the team, and everywhere [free agency] Take us, it takes us. But I'm not really worried about finishing hard for that aspect. We just want to win the game here and create something, so we just want to finish strong. So that's really everything that's there for me. ”
It is likely that he will take you to a limited free agency, but the net holds most of the cards.
Few teams can realistically bid for Thomas, and Brooklyn GM Sean Marks is unlikely to bid on himself.
“For now, it appears that the net has more leverage,” Cap expert Yossi Goslan told the post. “I think getting a big deal elsewhere at Cam Thomas will involve sign-and-trade because of his limited position. I think he's looking at the annual Colin Sexton type salary adjusted for inflation.”
Thomas' market could range from $20 million to $22 million a year, sources told the Post.
It is unclear how such seasons of injury will affect it.
“for [Thomas]for a while, I've only seen him being the year of his contract and he's injured – the first time he's been here that he's really hurt. “So it speaks to itself.”
