Cam Thomas could return this weekend for the Brooklyn Nets

In 2023-24, the Brooklyn Nets have a 25-38 record. The team has struggled all season to win games consistently. Brooklyn’s star power is lacking compared to the top teams in the NBA. There only all-star on the roster is Ben Simmons who’s played in 15 games this season. He was ruled out earlier this week for the remainder of the year with a back injury.

This season, Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas both average exactly (20.9) points per game. Bridges has been on a slump recently and Thomas has missed their last six games with an ankle injury. It was reported on Thursday that Thomas is close to returning to Brooklyn. The team desperately needs his scoring in their starting lineup.

Brooklyn’s Cam Thomas is in his third season with the Nets. The former first-round pick took a massive jump this season and is averaging 20+ points per game for the first time in his career. When Thomas is healthy, he’s a big piece of Brooklyn’s offense. Thomas averages (17.3) field goal attempts per game. Compared to just (8.0) in 2022-23. In Brooklyn’s offense, the SG plays freely and is given the ability to play isolation basketball.

At 22 years old, Thomas is a gifted scorer who can get his shot up against nearly anyone. He’s been out the last six games for the Nets with an ankle injury. The team has been struggling offensively without Thomas. This season, Thomas has missed fifteen games for the Nets with ankle issues. Brooklyn’s next game is Thursday on the road on the road vs. the Hornets. They’ll also travel to Cleveland on Sunday to face the Cavaliers.
