The Brooklyn Nets ended their sometimes sour relationship with guard Cam Thomas on Thursday by waiving him.
Thomas signed a $5.9 million qualifying offer last summer after he and the Nets could not agree to contract terms. Brooklyn reportedly tried to shop him before the Thursday trade deadline.
Now he is in an unrestricted free agent instead of being restricted, which would have given the Nets the right to match any offer sheet.
'Super excited, ready to actually help and contribute to another team,' Thomas, 24, told ESPN. 'My next team is getting elite scoring, good playmaking and a good combo guard.'
Thomas ranked second on the team with a 15.6 scoring average and averaged 3.1 assists and 2.0 turnovers per game in 24 contests (eight starts) this season after missing 20 games because of a strained left hamstring.
He was Brooklyn's leading scorer in the 2023-24 regular season (22.5 ppg) and averaged a team-best 24.0 scoring average in only 25 games in 2024-25 before he was limited by hamstring issues.
For his career, Thomas averages 15.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 23.3 minutes in 239 regular-season games (88 starts).
Brooklyn selected Thomas with the 27th overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.
