Cam Thomas Articles - Page 6

Cam Thomas really matched two LeBron James records in a span of two days after the Brooklyn Nets traded Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. On Monday, Thomas exploded for 47 points against the Los Angeles Clippers to become the second-youngest player in NBA history to have a back-to-back 40-piece. The 21-year-old had a 44-point […]

Cam Thomas is balling for the Brooklyn Nets ever since Kyrie Irving’s departure, dropping back-to-back 40-point games and turning everyone’s attention to him. However, while many might want the team to keep him as Kyrie’s permanent replacement, it definitely makes sense if the franchise considers trading him as well. After all with Brooklyn in championship […]

After Cam Thomas scored a career-high 44-points in a comeback win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday, Brooklyn Nets head coach Jacque Vaugh said the guard joked that he was the all-time leading scorer of Brooklyn’s “stay ready” group. Thomas has been in and out of the rotation this year while attempting to fill a […]

With two straight 40-point games since Kyrie Irving’s trade demand and eventual departure, Cam Thomas has made Brooklyn Nets fans forget about the All-Star guard rather quickly. Not that there are a lot of positive things to remember about Kyrie in Brooklyn considering his rather controversial stint with the team, but there’s no denying it’s […]

The dust hasn’t even settled on Kyrie Irving’s blockbuster trade to the Dallas Mavericks and already, a new star is emerging for the Brooklyn Nets. This comes in the form of second-year shooting guard Cam Thomas who came out with another mind-blowing performance against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night. Thomas is coming off […]

No Kyrie Irving, no problem for the Brooklyn Nets. One day before the bombshell news of Irving’s trade to the Dallas Mavericks, Brooklyn took the floor against Washington without the All-Star guard, as well as Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons and T.J. Warren. After falling behind by 23 points in the first half, the Nets seemed […]

Cam Thomas made his game do the talking. Now, he’s putting head coach Jacque Vaughn and the Brooklyn Nets on notice. In his postgame presser after leading the Nets to the 125-123 comeback win, Thomas made it clear to his head coach and the franchise that they can rely on him to win games. He […]

What Kyrie Irving trade drama? The Brooklyn Nets dealt the Washington Wizards a heavy dose of deja vu in their 125-123 comeback victory on Saturday night. Just like the night before, the Wizards raced to a first half 20-point lead over their opponents. And just like their streak-ending loss against the Portland Trail Blazers, the […]

Cam Thomas turned a lot of heads on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, and the Brooklyn Nets might want to take a serious look as well. The young swingman has been largely used as a backup by the Nets, and while he’s getting extra minutes recently (due to Kevin Durant’s absence), it actually didn’t start […]

To say the Brooklyn Nets were short-handed on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers is an understatement in their 136-133 win. They were missing Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton, Seth Curry, Joe Harris, Royce O’Neale and T.J. Warren. Yet they managed to pull off one of their best wins of the season behind […]

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has played just 14 total minutes through the team’s first five games. Thomas was a healthy scratch for the third time in four games in the Nets’ overtime loss to the Dallas Mavericks Thursday. And the 21-year-old did not hold back when asked if he was frustrated with his lack […]

After a summer of discontent from Brooklyn Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the 2022-23 Nets season started with the two stars, Ben Simmons and coach Steve Nash all still in place. However, the season hasn’t started well. The team is 1-4 through five games, and while that’s not enough of a sample size […]

The Brooklyn Nets open 2022 training camp on Sept. 27. The team moves into this season with several additions poised to provide a shakeup to the rotation. With that, here are three training camp battles to watch over the coming weeks. 3. Joe Harris vs. Royce O’Neale Ben Simmons, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are […]

The Brooklyn Nets move into the 2022-23 season as a far deeper and more versatile team than last year. A busy offseason featuring a key trade and numerous free agent signings added several new faces to Brooklyn’s supporting cast. However, the Nets still have needs such as a floor-spacing center and backup point guard. And […]

Everyone is waiting for the Brooklyn Nets to make a trade involving Kevin Durant and/or Kyrie Irving. The one that may actually happen involves second-year guard Cam Thomas. After a solid rookie season, the shooting guard and LSU product has a good amount of interest around the league. According to Brian Lewis of the New […]

Ben Simmons is set to return to the court soon after dealing with a back injury for quite some time. Unfortunately for the Brooklyn Nets, the injury woes continue as another key player fell with a similar injury against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. According to Cassidy Hubbarth, Cam Thomas was ruled out and won’t […]

With the 27th pick in the 2021 NBA draft, the Brooklyn Nets select… Cam Thomas, guard, LSU. Apparently, Kevin Durant had something to do with that selection too. That same Bleacher Report article hints Kevin Durant, who is still out with a sprained MCL in his knee, also pushed his team not to trade Thomas […]

Well, well, well. Brooklyn Nets fans have gotten used to sharing their home floor with Knicks fans in the past. At times over the years it’s felt like there was a fairly even split at Barclays Center in terms of allegiance. It makes sense. The Knicks didn’t have to share this town for the better part […]

The Brooklyn Nets looked dead in the water against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night. But somehow, some way they pulled off an astonishing 28-point comeback against their cross borough rivals. There’s probably no spectator more satisfied about the result than Kevin Durant. The Nets star had a subtle dig ready after witnessing his […]

Hoops fans were witnesses to a scary sight on Saturday when Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant limped off the floor during their game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Midway through the second quarter, Bruce Brown fell towards Durant’s legs, forcing the two-time Finals MVP’s knees to buckle in an awkward way. Durant tried to walk […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a lot riding on a Sunday afternoon tipoff. Coming off a five-game home losing streak, they were desperate to shake the narrative that they really struggle at home. Of course, there’s more to unpack with that story as Kyrie Irving, now back as a part-time player, cannot help them in Brooklyn. […]

The Brooklyn Nets have a young core that they’ve had to turn to because of things like Kyrie Irving’s absence, Joe Harris’ ankle injury, and other various setbacks. And while that stuff bums us out, one silver lining has been that it’s opened the door for more of the team’s young core and given us […]

For some inexplicable reason, the Houston Rockets are on fire right now. They beat the Kevin Durant-less Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, 114-104 to extend their winning streak to seven games. For some inexplicable reason, Kyrie Irving still refuses to get a COVID-19 vaccine. But even without him, the Nets are doing perfectly fine. Just […]

The Brooklyn Nets got some terrible news on Monday, with head coach Steve Nash announcing that sharpshooter Joe Harris is undergoing surgery due to an issue with a bone particle in his injured left ankle. The Nets’ all-time leading 3-point shooter is expected to return this season, but there will be an update following the procedure. […]

The Brooklyn Nets improve to 13-5, and are now in sole possession of first place in the East. Nets head coach Steve Nash has spoken at length this season about the team’s “continuity plan” being disrupted when they learned Kyrie Irving wouldn’t be available to them. Because of that disruption, they’ve needed their stars to […]

With Kyrie Irving set to miss the upcoming season due to his stand on vaccines, the Brooklyn Nets’s quest to win the championship just got harder. Although winning the title isn’t impossible, the added load on Kevin Durant and James Harden is one they shouldn’t have to carry in the first place. Thankfully, rookie Cam […]

When only considering all the talent on the roster, the Brooklyn Nets are the overwhelming favorite to win the 2022 title. They’ve got three (well, at least two right now) lethal scorers who can take over the game anytime. They have Kevin Durant, who many consider the current best player in the league. They have James […]

James Harden sees a gem in Brooklyn Nets rookie Cam Thomas. Drafted 27th overall this year out of LSU, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard has put his offensive prowess on display throughout the Summer League and in preseason play, thus far. As such, Thomas has caught the attention of the 2018 NBA Most Valuable Player. “Obviously […]

Somewhere out there, Kevin Durant is on his burner account on Twitter, proclaiming the Brooklyn Nets will be the team to beat this coming NBA season. Especially after the Nets escaped with a nail-biting win against the Washington Wizards in double overtime, 84-81 on Thursday in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas. Rookie forward […]

Senior guard Cam Thomas has committed to coach Will Wade and LSU according to a tweet from ESPN’s Paul Biancardi. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound guard is ranked as the No. 24 overall player and No. 6 shooting guard according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. This commitment has given the Tigers their fourth five-star commit in the […]
