According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Brooklyn’s rising star Cam Thomas has suffered an untimely blow and will be out for an extensive amount of time.

The Nets will be without Thomas for three to four weeks due to a left strained hamstring. Currently, Brooklyn is 8-10 and have a real shot this season of remaining competitive.

A large part of that was due to the 23-year-old, who continues to put up career-high statistics and take a leap in basketball production and maturity.

He’s averaging 24.7 points off 46.1% from the field and 38.9% from beyond the arc. All three stats are career-highs.

This is his fourth season in the NBA, and with the Nets, as the former 27th overall pick in the 2021 draft has continuously improved since entering the league.

Their next game is Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns, as they are traveling to Phoenix for a non NBA Cup game.

Cam Thomas Not Comfortable With Newest Rotations

Coach Jacque Vaughn has moved Cam Thomas back to the bench after starting 20 of his 30 played games this season, which has caused some discomfort and bluntness from their young guard Cam Thomas.

Thomas is a person who isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and once again, when asked about the newest changes, he has expressed his mind. It’s clear he is not a big fan of the recent rotation changes.

“No… I’m just doing my job… But no, I don’t really have no comfortability coming off the bench or starting. Whatever he wants me to do that’s what imma do,” Thomas answered.

Being moved back to the bench has been viewed as a negative; it will be interesting to see if Vaughn moves him to a bigger role in the future or if this is it for a long time.
