Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas is making progress in his recovery from a left hamstring strain. He sustained this injury on November 5 during a victory over the Indiana Pacers. Following the strain, he was set to be reevaluated in three to four weeks, as announced by the team on November 7.
Significant Update on Cam Thomas’ Rehabilitation
This week, the Nets provided an update after Thomas underwent reevaluation. An MRI revealed encouraging signs of healing in his hamstring. As a result, Thomas has commenced on-court workouts, although they are currently limited to individual practices. The team expects to give another update on his status in approximately two weeks.
Head Coach Comments
Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez expressed optimism regarding Thomas’s rehabilitation. “He’s starting to do some basketball workouts. It’s one-on-zero,” he explained. “We’re happy with how he’s progressing. We have another timeline, which is two weeks.” This indicates a cautious but positive approach to his recovery.
Thomas’s Performance Statistics
Before his injury, Cam Thomas showed impressive statistics in the season. In eight games, he averaged:
- 21.4 points per game
- 1.4 rebounds per game
- 2.6 assists per game
- Shooting 40.2% from the field
- Shooting 35.6% from three-point range
His ability to score has been crucial for the Nets, especially alongside forward Michael Porter Jr., who is currently the leading scorer for the team, averaging 25.3 points per game.
Impact on the Team
While Thomas will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks, the Nets are focused on maintaining their competitiveness. Porter needs to continue taking on a significant offensive role to support the team during Thomas’s absence. The organization remains hopeful for his return following the upcoming reevaluation.
