Thomas chipped in two points (0-3 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.
After a few encouraging performances following his move to Milwaukee, it appears as though Thomas has reverted back to his old ways. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.3 points in 17.7 minutes, leaving him outside the top 300 in standard leagues. At this point, there is no reason to be rostering Thomas, outside of deeper formats.

Bucks' Cam Thomas: Big night from second unit
Rotowire
Thomas closed Friday's 139-118 victory over the Pelicans with 27 points (11-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes off the bench.
In his fourth game with the Bucks, Thomas tied for the team lead in scoring with Ryan Rollins. Thomas is heaving up a huge shot volume right now and doing it incredibly efficiently -- over the last three contests he's averaging 24.3 points on 16.7 field-goal attempts while shooting 56.0 percent from the floor in only 22.0 minutes. The 24-year-old guard is unlikely to be able to maintain that pace, especially once Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is back as the focal point of the offense.

Bucks' Cam Thomas: Cools off in win
Rotowire
Thomas notched 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 20 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 victory over the Thunder.
After erupting for 34 points (12-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Magic, Thomas cooled off in a big way Thursday. However, the usage was encouraging, and it's clear that the Bucks are comfortable giving him the green light in this offense.

Bucks' Cam Thomas: Scores 34 points with four treys
Rotowire
Thomas accumulated 34 points (12-20 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 victory over the Magic.
Thomas was held to just four points on 1-for-5 shooting across 13 minutes in his Bucks' debut Monday, but with Ryan Rollins (foot) unavailable for Wednesday's game, Thomas was much more involved in the rotation, and he took full advantage of the increased opportunity. He was in the closing lineup and hit a deep, dagger triple with 20 seconds left to seal the deal for Milwaukee, so it'll be interesting to see if Thomas can keep it going Thursday in a tough matchup against the Thunder.

Bucks' Cam Thomas: Scores four in debut
Rotowire
Thomas finished with four points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 13 minutes during Monday's 118-99 loss to the Magic.
Thomas inked a deal with the Bucks on Sunday after being cut loose by the Nets, and he was cleared for his Milwaukee debut Monday. He scored all four points in the final period, though he was otherwise ineffective in limited chances. Thomas could see more opportunities to make an impact Wednesday as he eases into a new system.

Cam Thomas: Waived Thursday
Rotowire
The Nets waived Thomas on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The Nets were unable to find any trade partners to offload Thomas, so instead, they will outright waive him. Thomas will likely clear waivers, and it'll be interesting to see what kind of deal he's able to fetch on the open market. There's no denying Thomas' scoring ability, but his shot selection and struggles to impact other areas of the box score have been problematic to his NBA development.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Available to play
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is available for Friday's game in Utah, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Michael Porter (personal) won't play Friday, so Thomas could see a lot of offense coming his way, making him an intriguing target in daily fantasy leagues with a favorable matchup against the Jazz. Thomas is averaging 15.9 points on 39.5 percent shooting from the floor and 83.8 percent at the stripe this season.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Out with ankle sprain
Rotowire
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.

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.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Cleared from injury report
Rotowire
Thomas (hamstring) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Thomas sat out Monday's loss in Dallas for hamstring injury management, but the stage is set for him to return Wednesday. Over his last seven appearances, the shooting guard has averaged 16.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 21.9 minutes per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the floor.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores 10 points in 24 minutes
Rotowire
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.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Paces Brooklyn in loss
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: 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.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Won't return due to injury
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 started Wednesday's contest at the point guard position, and his absence should open more opportunities for Tyrese Martin and Egor Demin. 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.
