Overview
- After clearing waivers on Feb. 8, Cam Thomas signed with Milwaukee and is expected to be available to play immediately.
- Brooklyn waived him shortly after the Feb. 5 trade deadline following unsuccessful trade talks, months after he returned on a $5.9 million qualifying offer.
- Thomas said he chose the Bucks because they had pursued him for years and made clear he was wanted.
- Milwaukee is seeking added shot creation while Giannis Antetokounmpo recovers from a right calf strain, making this a low-cost, short-term boost to the rotation.
- This season Thomas averaged 15.6 points and 3.1 assists in 24.3 minutes for the Nets after missing 20 games with a left hamstring strain; contract terms were not disclosed but are reported as likely a minimum or exception deal before unrestricted free agency this summer.
