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.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Puts up 16 points in return
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) amassed 16 points (7-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Friday's 121-102 loss to Portland.
Suiting up for the first time since Jan. 2 and for only the third time since the beginning of December while recovering from a left hamstring strain and a subsequent aggravation, Thomas took back his spot in the starting five. He was operating under a minute restriction and looked rusty in his return, needing 17 shots just to put up 16 points. Thomas should see his playing time pick up in the Nets' subsequent games, though he'll likely be a candidate to sit out Saturday's game in Detroit for maintenance purposes.

He should give his squad a considerable boost in the scoring department moving forward, meaning he'll have some fantasy value.

Thomas had recently missed just over a month with the same injury and appeared in just two games before straining the hamstring again. It's an unfortunate development for the young guard, who's expected multi-week absence should enable Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin to take on heightened playing time on the wing.

He'll be back in street clothes for the first half of Brooklyn's upcoming back-to-back set, though he should return to action Thursday in Milwaukee. Ziaire Williams (knee) is close to making his return, but in Thomas' absence, Keon Johnson should remain in the starting lineup.
