Cam Thomas Injury Update: What Happened to Cam Thomas?
Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas, the team's leading scorer and a key offensive spark, suffered a setback during the Nets' game against the Indiana Pacers on November 5, 2025. Just six minutes into the first quarter, Thomas exited the court after feeling tightness in his left hamstring. Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas exited early against the Pacers on November 5, 2025, with left hamstring tightness, and while there's no official return timeline, past injuries suggest he'll miss 1-4 weeks.
He managed only one assist before heading to the locker room, and the Nets quickly ruled him out for the rest of the game. This injury couldn't have come at a worse time for the struggling 0-7 Nets, who are desperately seeking their first win of the 2025-26 season. NetsKingdom, posting on X via @NetsKingdomAJ, reported that Cam Thomas is OUT for the rest of the game due to left hamstring tightness.
Hamstring tightness is often a minor strain, but for Thomas, it's a troubling echo of his past issues. Last season (2024-25), he dealt with recurring left hamstring problems that limited him to just 25 games, forcing him to miss the final stretch despite averaging career-highs of 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
He first pulled it in late November 2024 against the Warriors, sat out a month, and aggravated it twice more, ultimately ending his year early. Entering this season on a one-year qualifying offer, Thomas has been Brooklyn's go-to scorer, averaging 18.6 shot attempts per game and showing flashes of All-Star potential with his three-level scoring.
As of November 6, 2025, no official timeline for his return has been announced, but hamstring injuries like this typically sideline players for 1-4 weeks with rest and rehab. The Nets are optimistic it's precautionary, but given his history, they'll likely take a cautious approach to avoid a longer absence. In his place, expect more minutes for Egor Demin, Tyrese Martin, and Ziaire Williams, young wings who could step up but lack Thomas's scoring punch.
