Cam Thomas still has 17 games to show the Brooklyn Nets and the rest of the NBA how valuable he is and can.

The shooting of the Nets' High Scoring will be a limited free agent this summer, but only played in 24 of the 65 games of the Nets so far, mainly due to a gnawing thigh injury that derailed, which developed as the best of his four seasons in the league.

Thomas is average the best career of 24.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 44.3% of the shootout.

But the sample size is small because it has only played five times since January 2, and seven competitions after he originally suffered a left thigh pollution at Golden State on November 25th.

Brooklyn (23-44) has been 1-6 with Thomas in the last few months and has lost the last five games in which he has participated since February 28th.

This did not prevent him from building impressive numbers or showing more versatility in his game.

Thomas Loggte on the hardwood for 32 minutes and scored 27 points at Cleveland in the league on Tuesday evening, even though he was pupating a lead of 18 points in the third quarter during a brutal defeat from 109 to 104.

It was the first time since November 24th in Sacramento that the Alaun in Louisiana spent more than half an hour on the court.

And Rookie Nets coach Jordi Fernández believes that it is the beginning of something great for Thomas, who scores an average of 22.5 points in four March games, even though he plays a little more than 28 minutes a night in these competitions.

“The ball moved and I think Cam Thomas was the reason,” said Fernández when he was asked how his reconstruction team in half of Cleveland led to 13 points with 13 points that won a franchise record 15 in a row.

“We played it through,” added Fernández. “He came over the ball early, and then the ball had energy and he returned to him. He had 16 points in the first half “,”

Thomas slowed down after the break and made 11 points when Brooklyn, which would have been his more impressive victory of the year, disappear.

“It was just a part of him how he was back in shape and played for over 30 minutes, which was easy to see,” remarked Fernández.

Thomas spent most of his first two seasons to fill Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving the goal ship while led the Nets in the hits during the summer league and the exhibition slate.

He overtook Mikal Bridges last season as the leading goal scorer of the team and seemed that in 2024-25 he was an all-star candidate before his thighs gave.

As a restricted free agent, Thomas is still at the mercy of the networks if he wants to keep it before he can play the market with its still developing skills.

The 23-year-old first-time agent does not leave the business of basketball if he catches up for a lost time during the stretch run of the NETS.

“At that time I am not really worried,” said Thomas last week of the New York Post. “I just want to be strong for the team and then wherever [free agency] Take us, it takes us.

“But I'm not really worried that I am very ended for this aspect. I just want to end strongly because we want to win games and build something here. This is really all for me. “

The networks will go to Chicago on Thursday evening with a different setting than before the all-star break of the last month.

Brooklyn pulled in one fell swoop of the 10th bulls for the last Play-in tournament pitch in the Eastern Conference by winning six out of seven before the break.

After the Nets lost eight of their last nine, they are appeared in the United Center Five Games behind the Bulls (27-38), which have won a season wedding in a row.

The Chicago shooting guard Josh Giddey scored 29 points and pulled 10 rebounds on Monday evening in a 121-103 visit to Indiana.

However, Giddey wave his ankle in the victory and will not be available when the Nets visit the Windy City. The Bulls Point Guard Lonzo Ball is doubtful with a wrist injury.

Thomas is not listed in the NETS injury report after he was regularly accepted on it for a few months.

Fernández believes that his top scorer will only get better, and his conditioning after a long break improves further.

“As soon as he can play the whole game for this intensity and physicality, it becomes scary.” The rookie trainer noticed.
