The Milwaukee Bucks waived guard Cam Thomas on Monday night, marking the second time this season that the 24-year-old has been cut by a team. On Feb. 5, Thomas was waived by the Brooklyn Nets, who drafted him in the first round in 2021. After the Bucks picked him up, Thomas started his career in Milwaukee with a bang, scoring 34 points in his second game with the team. However, he failed to establish a consistent role on the team and is now seeking another employer. Thomas will become an unrestricted free agent once he clears waivers. By waiving Thomas, Milwaukee was able to convert forward Pete Nance's contract from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, free-agent guard Cam Thomas agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 2021 No. 27 overall pick has spent his entire career in Brooklyn. While he hasn't had the best year, he's coming off a solid 2024 campaign, at least when he was available, averaging a career-high 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. The Nets weren't looking to keep Thomas beyond this season, so the team ultimately waived him after failing to trade him ahead of the deadline. Without question, the former LSU Tiger is a menace offensively. However, he won't offer much else to fantasy managers outside of his contributions on the scoring end. Thomas has also battled numerous injuries over the years, which has significantly capped his fantasy value. All things considered, Thomas should receive ample playing time immediately, and he will presumably draw some starts if Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins, or Kyle Kuzma aren't available.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas will be waived after not being traded before Thursday's NBA Trade Deadline, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Thomas was the Nets' first-round pick in 2021 and has played five seasons in Brooklyn, but he'll now become a free agent. He's a score-first guard who has shown a high ceiling when he's the focus of the offense, but didn't seem to fit in the team's current plans. Thomas averaged 24.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 three-pointers in 25 games last season, but this year, he only averaged 15.6 points, 3.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds, and 24.3 minutes in his 24 games. Thomas could be an interesting addition to a team needing volume scoring off the free agent market, and his departure opens more minutes for young players like Drake Powell and Ben Saraf in Brooklyn's rotation.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) won't play on Thursday in Denver. The Nets will then travel to Utah to meet the Jazz on Friday night, so Thomas will presumably be back for that contest. With Noah Clowney (back) and Egor Demin (foot) also out, Michael Porter Jr. should receive even more opportunities to produce versus his former squad. The same can be said for Nicolas Claxton, Day'Ron Sharpe, and Terance Mann (back), assuming he suits up.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) was listed as available to play Tuesday after he was forced to miss Sunday's game against the Clippers with a sprained ankle. The 24-year-old still has a very high ceiling, even though he has been limited to only 20 games by injuries this season and is only averaging 16.2 points per game when available. Thomas was limited to only 19 minutes in his last game on Friday, even though the game went into double overtime. He could be lined up for more work on Tuesday, though, since Tyrese Martin (knee) has been ruled out. Thomas's return could also cut into the workloads of Ziaire Williams and Nolan Traore (illness), who is probable.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Clippers. The 24-year-old has already missed plenty of time this season. He's also struggled statistically, averaging 16.2 points, his lowest since his sophomore campaign. Thomas tweaked his ankle during Friday's double-overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, so it's unknown how long he'll be out of commission. However, with the trade deadline on the horizon, fantasy managers are left wondering if he's already played his final game as a Net. At any rate, while Thomas is sidelined, Ziaire Williams and Tyrese Martin may see more action. That could also apply to Nolan Traore (illness), who had a career-high 21 points on Friday, once he shakes off an illness.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) will return to the lineup on Wednesday night against the New York Knicks. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Monday versus the Phoenix Suns. Since returning from a hamstring injury in late December, Thomas has struggled for consistency. He is averaging 12.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.6 assists across 23.4 minutes in January. The 24-year-old has finished three of his last four appearances with single-digit points. Still, Thomas impressed with 10 assists in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls and can cook up a big line in a hurry if he gets hot.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) will be active on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The team has removed Thomas from the injury report after he sat out Monday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks to manage his left hamstring injury. Thomas has been limited to 22.8 minutes per game this month, averaging 14.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. As a microwave scorer, Thomas has a very attractive fantasy matchup on Wednesday, as New Orleans owns the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) won't be in the lineup on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets are wrapping up a back-to-back, and Thomas will sit out to manage a left hamstring injury. Thomas missed nearly two months because of the injury, and the team is being cautious with him. Drake Powell and Tyese Martin could see more playing time on Monday night, especially with Egor Demin (foot) also missing from the backcourt.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (rest) won't be available for the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards on Friday. This is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Thomas will head to the bench for rest purposes. This is bad timing for the Nets with Michael Porter Jr. (illness) and Nicolas Claxton (personal) also ruled out on Friday. When healthy, Thomas has been productive, so fantasy managers should hold him through injury maintenance days. Ziaire Williams could be asked to play heavy minutes with Terance Mann (hip) questionable for this game. Williams finished with 14 points, two rebounds, and five steals across 27 minutes on Thursday. He brings enough to the table to warrant streaming while the Nets are banged up.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) will play on Saturday against Minnesota. He hasn't been on the floor in nearly two months, so he'll presumably see fewer than the 28.3 minutes he averaged before suffering the hamstring strain. However, despite the chance of a reduced workload, Thomas is a must-start in all fantasy setups. It's unknown how his presence will impact others, although his return could severely decrease the statistical contributions of Michael Porter Jr., who has averaged a career-high 25.7 points.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) will miss 3-4 weeks. As expected, the 24-year-old has shined on the scoring end for the Nets this season, averaging 21.4 points. Unfortunately, he'll be on the shelf with a hamstring strain, something he dealt with throughout the 2024 campaign. With that said, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Thomas' absence extend beyond the four-week mark. In the meantime, Terance Mann, Noah Clowney, and Tyrese Martin are the favorites to pick up the slack on the scoring end behind Michael Porter Jr.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't surprising, since Thomas missed most of Wednesday's contest against the Indiana Pacers due to a hamstring problem. Thomas is Brooklyn's second-highest scorer, averaging 21.4 points for the year, and his absence will open up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, players like Tyrese Martin and Terance Mann could be more involved in the rotation. Mann is already starting for the Nets, while Martin produced 16 points in 27 minutes off the bench on Wednesday night after Thomas' departure.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (face) is available for Sunday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old suffered a nasal fracture in Friday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, the injury didn't stop him from finishing with 33 points and nine assists. He'll likely be wearing a face guard until the injury heals, so there's a chance his vision may be affected. Of course, Thomas still needs to be featured in all fantasy formats, although his shooting percentages may be impacted due to the recent injury, which won't sit well with category managers.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Cam Thomas said to the media on Monday that he has dropped a good amount of weight this offseason. He had attempted to put on more weight in his past couple seasons to try the "strong, bulky route," but he didn't like how he looked. The 23-year-old mentioned he looks and feels better now. Thomas and the Nets were unable to come to an agreement on a long-term deal this offseason and Thomas instead signed a qualifying offer. This seasons sets up to be a prove-it type of year for the 23-year-old as he will become an unrestricted free agent this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to target Thomas in the middle rounds of their upcoming drafts.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas is "increasingly interested" in signing a $6 million qualifying offer, NBA insider Jake Fischer reports. The talented scorer remains a restricted free agent and seems to have overvalued himself. A recent report from Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily suggests that, in an ideal scenario, Thomas would want to attract offers close to $40 million a year. Brooklyn's maximum offer has reportedly been a two-year deal with a team option, worth $14.1 million annually. Thomas has been left in contract limbo despite leading the Nets in scoring last season with 24.0 points per game and posting career highs in rebounding (3.3) and assists (3.8).

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas remains a restricted free agent and doesn't seem close to signing an extension with the team. Thomas reportedly wants an annual salary of around $30 million, but the Nets have only offered a two-year deal worth about $14.1 million per season with a team option. After averaging a team-high 24.0 points per game in 2024-25, Thomas clearly values himself highly. However, he must lower his salary demands significantly to reach a multi-year agreement this summer. Ultimately, Thomas might choose to accept Brooklyn's $5.99 million qualifying offer, which would make him an unrestricted free agent next offseason. This would give him more options to sign a lucrative deal.

The Brooklyn Nets extended a qualifying offer to guard Cam Thomas, making him a restricted free agent. The 23-year-old averaged a career-high 24 points last season. Unfortunately, nagging hamstring issues limited him to only 25 appearances. It's safe to say the Nets will do what it takes to keep him, especially since the club is in the position to do so from a financial standpoint. If that's the case, Thomas has an excellent chance to lead the club in scoring, considering the club will be on the young side in 2025. An All-Star selection could also be on the horizon. With that in mind, Thomas has plenty to offer fantasy managers due to his offensive prowess. However, his health will remain a concern until he proves he can stay off the injury report.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. He has another left hamstring strain, with the team ruling him out due to "the number of days remaining in the schedule and the time needed to appropriately recover." Outside of the injuries, the 23-year-old had an excellent season, averaging career-highs in points (24.0), rebounds (3.3), and assists (3.8). But with Thomas and the organization failing to reach a contract agreement early in the season, he'll become a restricted free agent this summer. Without question, the 2021 No. 27 overall pick is loaded with talent. However, Thomas' inability to stay healthy will negatively impact his fantasy stock moving ahead. Without Thomas on the floor, guys like Tyrese Martin and Keon Johnson should benefit.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Cam Thomas (hamstring) will not be in the lineup on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. Brooklyn will give the talented scorer some time off to manage a hamstring injury as the team begins a back-to-back set. Thomas is likely to return to action on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. Keon Johnson stepped in for Thomas in the starting unit Monday night against the Los Angeles Lakers and may receive another start on Saturday. Tyrese Martin will likely also see more action with Thomas on the shelf.
