Nets’ Cam Thomas expected to miss rest of season with hamstring strain
Nets star Cam Thomas suffered a left hamstring strain during Thursday night’s loss to the Chicago Bulls.
The team announced Saturday that given the number of days left in the schedule and the time it would take to work his way back to full health, the 23-year-old is expected to be out the remainder of the season.
This is Thomas’ third hamstring ailment this year -- limiting him to just 25 games.
He has, however, remained a scoring machine when healthy -- averaging a career-high 24 points over that span while putting together a team-leading six 30+ point showings, including a season-high 43 points on Nov. 15 against the Knicks.
He notched his first career double-double in his final game of the year (24 points, 10 assists).
It’ll be interesting to see how the rebuilding Nets handle things with Thomas this offseason, as he is currently in the final year of his rookie deal and is set to be a restricted free agent at season's end.
He appeared to be headed for a big payday coming into this year, but we’ll see if the injury-plagued season affects that.
