Cam Thomas To Undergo Late-Week MRI as Nets Set Return Timeline

The team will set a new timetable after imaging later this week, reflecting a focus on his long-term health.

Overview

  • Head coach Jordi Fernández said Thomas will have an MRI at the end of the week, with an update to follow once results are read.
  • Thomas has missed 12 straight games since straining his left hamstring on Nov. 5 at Indiana.
  • Brooklyn entered Monday at 2-9 without Thomas, underscoring the offensive drop-off during his absence.
  • Michael Porter Jr. returned from back tightness and has carried the scoring load, averaging 25.7 points since Nov. 7.
  • The 24-year-old missed 57 games last season with hamstring issues and is on a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer as the Nets emphasize not rushing his return.
