The Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday signed free agent guard Cam Thomas, who had been waived by the Brooklyn Nets after the trade deadline on Thursday.
Thomas, 24, had a sometimes sour relationship with the Nets and signed a $5.9 million qualifying offer last summer after he and the team could not agree to contract terms. Brooklyn reportedly tried to shop him before the trade deadline; instead, he became a free agent.
'I picked Milwaukee because they wanted me and they told me they've been interested for years now,' Thomas told Andscape. 'So, it's good to have this opportunity come to fruition. And I'm just hoping to meet everybody, get to know everybody and contribute as soon as possible.'
Thomas ranked second on the Nets with a 15.6 scoring average and averaged 3.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 2.0 turnovers and 24.3 minutes 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 out of LSU with the 27th overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.
