Cam Thomas, the Brooklyn Nets’ shooting guard, will enter restricted free agency for the first time in his career. Despite injuries limiting him to just 25 games last season, Thomas has established himself as one of the top free agents available this summer.
Performance Highlights
Thomas’s impressive individual performances were a bright spot for the Nets during a tumultuous season. He averaged:
- 24.0 points per game
- 3.3 rebounds per game
- 3.8 assists per game
His shooting percentages were:
- 43.8% from the field
- 34.9% from three-point range
Injury Challenges
Injuries plagued Thomas throughout the season, particularly left hamstring strains, which kept him sidelined for weeks at a time. Despite this, he has emerged as one of the top players on HoopsHype’s list of free agents this summer, ranked as high as No. 12, ahead of players like Kelly Oubre Jr. and Brook Lopez.
Cap Space and Contract Negotiations
The Nets have ample cap space available to sign Thomas without making difficult roster decisions or salary dumps this summer. His restricted status means that if he signs an offer sheet with another team during the free agency period that exceeds his qualifying offer (expected to be around $4 million), Brooklyn can match it and retain his services without giving up draft compensation.
Future Outlook
While there are no guarantees that Cam will return to Brooklyn next year—especially given his struggles with injuries last season—it seems likely that he will remain in New York City.
The NBA offseason is still in its early stages, but one thing is clear: Cam Thomas will be a player who commands attention when teams begin negotiating contracts later this month.
Additional News
- The Nets have not yet made any official statements regarding their plans for re-signing Cam.
- There are rumors circulating about potential interest from other teams in signing Cam.
- The NBA offseason is expected to be highly competitive this year.
