It is the end of a galley season looming to Cam Thomas. Brooklyn's rear scorer was again injured in the hamstring of the left leg on Thursday evening against the Bulls. It is already the third time this season that he has been touched there, and this time, it will be the last to believe the press release published yesterday by his franchise.
“The injury occurred Thursday evening during the match in Chicago. In view of the number of days that remain in the calendar and the time necessary to recover appropriately, it is expected that Cam Thomas is missing the rest of the season ”is it written.
A recurring injury
It is therefore the end of a galley season for the player, who regularly chained the injuries to the Ischio, from November 25 against Golden State, then from the beginning of January, with an absence of two months this time. Back on February 28, he played six games out of eight, taking care to avoid the “back-to-back”, but even there, his thigh did not hold, and his 25th game played this season was finally the last.
The hardest part is that Cam Thomas had the first double-double in his career Thursday in Chicago, with 24 points and a career record with 10 assists. But as on previous matches, in Cleveland, especially two days earlier, he seemed to lose energy over the game. Author of 15 points and 8 assists in the first half on Thursday, he then sank, by returning a 4/14 and two passes in the second half…
“He made an impressive first half, and then, he lacked a little gas in the second half. It is probably because he was far from the field for two months and that he is tried to put it in a condition to play. He will get there, but he must continue to do what he did first half as in the last two games. He was impressive “,, said Jordi Fernandez Thursday evening about it.
And now, the “free agency”
For Cam Thomas, the next deadline will now be located this summer, when the “Free Agency” is opening, which he will approach as a “protected free agent”, which means that Brooklyn will be able to align with any offer. With regard to his qualities as an attacker and his potential at only 23 years old, the rear should arouse lusts even if this season marked by injuries will necessarily bring his rating.
Reading Jordi Fernandez's statements yesterday, following the formalization of his package, we can think that the net will do what is necessary to keep it.
“Cam was great for the group. He worked every day, he has established relationships. We know all of his qualities of very good scorer ”, Added the Brooklyn coach. “We will approach summer together, we have a plan in place. And this plan and to be a team that wins regularly, and we will arrive at this stage together ”.
