The Brooklyn Nets are coming off strong after pinning down the Golden State Warriors on Monday. They had two major stars of the show they put up in Chase Center. While Dennis Schroder put in 31 points, Cam Thomas’s 23-point mammoth contribution did wonders. But, it looks like the Nets’ joy didn’t last long as some truly concerning news has left their locker room.

ESPN’s senior NBA insider Shams Charania shared disheartening information on Cam Thomas. And, to put it out subtly, the 23-year-old guard won’t be around for a few weeks. What?!

“Brooklyn Nets rising star Cam Thomas will miss three to four weeks due to a left hamstring strain, sources told ESPN. Thomas ranks 14th in the NBA in scoring, averaging career highs of 24.7 points on 46.1% shooting from the field and 38.9% from 3.”

Thomas is out for 3-4 weeks, adding to the Brooklyn Nets’ struggles. Injury recoveries are unpredictable, so his return might take longer. The Brooklyn Nets’ struggles are worsened as they lose Cam Thomas. With an 8-10 record, the team can’t afford this setback.

Fans send in their prayers for Cam Thomas

CT had started to put out a tremendous pro season with the Brooklyn Nets. The 27th pick of the 2021 draft was on an absolute lethal spree so far averaging 24.7 ppg and 3.4 assists per game. Therefore, Cam Thomas was the ‘least deserving’ candidate for such an injury. Fans share their grief as Brooklyn’s beacon of hope will be out for at least 4 weeks.

Meanwhile, some fans think it’s the ‘basketball gods’ who thought of putting an end to Cam Thomas & Co.’s joys. Besides, it could be the work of the so-called “Warriors devil” whose magic or curse has worked on the Nets. So, who will lead the team around the rim like Thomas did? It was one of his many strengths keeping the team’s halfcourt offense afloat for many possessions.

The 2024-25 NBA season seems like a season of injuries and nothing more. Every day some major crucial player or the other adds his name to the injury roster. A potential All-Star player like Cam Thomas’s name feels like a stray horn hurting. Moreover, with CT gone, the Nets’ find themselves in muddy waters as their roster continues to get shallow as more injured players leave the court.

Fans are frustrated and worried. It’s like the basketball gods are on strike. The Nets, with Cam Thomas out, are about to feel the impact. The season’s looking tough, with more names added to the injury list. It’s a season full of setbacks, and everyone including the fans is feeling it.

Just as Cam Thomas was hitting his stride, injury strikes, sidelining him for 3-4 weeks. Fans are heartbroken, and the Nets’ hopes take a serious hit. A bright star dimmed too soon! The 23YO is allegedly an All-Star material. But with recoveries being an unpredictable affair, will he be a candidate for the race?

Cam Thomas’s injury is, undoubtedly, a huge blow for the Nets, cutting short his breakout season. Consequently, fans are devastated, fearing the team’s struggles will only deepen. Moreover, with his return uncertain, the Nets now face an uphill battle ahead.
