Thomas supplied 18 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.
Thomas leading the team in scoring despite a 21-point defeat is emblematic of Brooklyn's 2023-24 campaign. While Thomas' 55.4 true-shooting percentage isn't exactly worthy of being an offensive engine, his tough-shot making and ability to get buckets versus all types of defenders has solidified him as a top isolation scorer of the next generation. Thomas ascended to career-high marks of 5.0 free-throw attempts and 6.0 three-point attempts per game this season, creating true multi-level productivity to help balance his scoring diet.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Late scratch Monday
Rotowire
Thomas has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto due to lower-back stiffness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Thomas hadn't been included on the Nets' injury report, so it came as a surprise when he was ruled out less than an hour before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. He'll be sidelined Monday along with Cameron Johnson (toe), Dennis Smith (hip), Keita Bates-Diop (shin) and Ben Simmons (back), leaving plenty of minutes up for grabs in the backcourt and on the wing.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Leads Brooklyn in scoring
Rotowire
Thomas totaled 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.
Thomas carried the Nets in scoring and finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double, but he couldn't do everything on his own, and the Nets lost by a sizable 21-point margin. However, the team's overall struggles shouldn't impact Thomas' fantasy upside, as he has scored at least 20 points in each of his last four appearances since returning from a six-game absence March 9. Thomas has averaged 22.8 points per game since moving to a permanent starting role Jan. 27.

Thomas (ankle/foot) finished Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Hornets with 31 points (12-24 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two assists and one rebound across 30 minutes.
Thomas hit the ground running in his return from a six-game absence, taking on a team-high 37.9 percent usage rate while leading all scorers on either side. As per usual, Thomas offered little production beyond the scoring column, but he should remain a three-category asset (points, three-pointers and free-throw percentage) while the Nets are lacking in viable offensive playmakers.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Nearing return
Rotowire
Thomas (ankle) will remain out for Thursday's game against the Pistons, but the Nets are optimistic that he could return to action Saturday in Charlotte or Sunday in Cleveland, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
A right ankle/mid-foot sprain will keep Thomas out for a sixth straight contest Thursday, but the 22-year-old has steadily ramped up his workouts of late and has now reached the day-to-day phase of his recovery. Thomas' eventual return should provide a boon to a Nets backcourt that will be without Ben Simmons (back) for the rest of the season and could be without Lonnie Walker (illness) on Thursday.

His next chance to play will be Thursday against the Hawks. With Ben Simmons (knee) resting Tuesday, the Nets will need players such as Dennis Schroder, Lonnie Walker, Cameron Johnson and Jalen Wilson to step up.

Nets' Cam Thomas: X-rays on ankle return negative
Rotowire
Thomas was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after X-rays following Monday's 86 win over the Grizzlies returned negative, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Though Thomas avoided a fracture of the ankle was able to walk around in the locker room after exiting the game, he's not out of the woods yet. The Nets could still send Thomas in for an MRI, and depending on the grade of his ankle sprain, he may be at risk of missing time. At the very least, Thomas should be viewed as questionable, at best, for the second leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday versus the Magic. With Ben Simmons (knee) also resting for the second leg of the back-to-back, the Nets could turn to Dennis Schroder, Lonnie Walker, Cameron Johnson, Jalen Wilson and Dorian Finney-Smith to absorb some of the vacated minutes.

Rotowire
Thomas finished Wednesday's 136-86 loss to Boston with five points (1-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes.
After scoring 26 points on 10-for-20 shooting Tuesday against the Celtics, Thomas came back down to earth Wednesday when he missed eight of his nine shot attempts. The third-year guard out of LSU is averaging a career-best 21.2 points per game this season, but his scoring efficiency continues to be of high variance.
