BROOKLYN (Sept. 4, 2025) – The Brooklyn Nets have re-signed guard Cam Thomas. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released.
Thomas (6’3”, 215) has played each of his four NBA seasons (2021-25) with the Nets after the team selected him 27th overall in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft. He averaged a career-high and team-leading 24 points on 43.8 percent shooting from the field, 34.9 percent shooting from 3-point range and 88.1 percent shooting from the free-throw line (14th in the league), a career-best 3.3 rebounds and career-high 3.8 assists in 31.2 minutes per game across 25 appearances (23 starts) last season. The 23-year-old recorded his ninth career 40-point game during the 2024-25 campaign, which is good for the fourth most by a Net in the team’s NBA history, trailing only Vince Carter (17), Kyrie Irving (14) and Kevin Durant (10). In 2023-24, Thomas saw action in 66 games (career-high 51 starts) and averaged 22.5 points on 44.2 percent shooting from the field, 36.4 percent shooting from beyond the arc and 85.6 percent shooting from the charity stripe, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 31.4 minutes per game. His 11.9 point per game increase year-over-year (10.6 points per game in 2022-23) was the largest by any player in the franchise’s NBA history. Across the last two seasons, his points per game mark (22.9) is the third highest among players drafted since 2021. He tallied five or more assists in 22 contests since 2023-24 after notching two such games in his first two NBA seasons. Thomas’ turnover percentage (9.1) since the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign is the lowest in the Eastern Conference and the second lowest in the NBA, trailing only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, among players with a usage rate over 30.0 percent. Thomas has recorded 3,255 total career points, which is good for the sixth most by a Net prior to turning 24 years old.
Thomas has appeared in 215 games (80 starts) and holds career averages of 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 23.2 minutes per contest while shooting 43.9 percent from the field, 34.5 percent from 3-point range and 86 percent from the free-throw line. Prior to his professional career, he spent one season (2020-21) at Louisiana State University, where he earned All-SEC First Team, All-SEC Freshman Team and Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America accolades. In 29 games with the Tigers, Thomas averaged an NCAA Division I freshman-leading 23.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 33.9 minutes per contest. His 22 20-point performances were the most by an LSU player since Shaquille O’Neal in 1992.
