""It's obviously frustrating being hurt with anything, whether it's an ankle, foot, whatever the case may be," Thomas said before the Nets faced Detroit in an NBA Cup game. "Nobody wants to be injured, sitting off to the side. "I'm not really concerned about it. I'll be back in no time. I'm not really upset or concerned. It was just an unfortunate play. Good thing it happened earlier this year.""
"Egor Denim, the eighth overall pick in June's NBA draft, started in place of Thomas. "We don't have another Cam Thomas," Nets coach Jordi Fernández said. "The constant has to be that we play hard with purpose. We have to look like a competitive team out there, a selfless team, and a connected team. If that happens, we'll be OK.""
Cam Thomas will be sidelined for three to four weeks with a left hamstring strain. He sustained the injury while jumping to catch a pass in the first quarter of the Nets' 112-103 victory at Indiana and left the game after two additional plays as a precaution. The Nets plan to reevaluate him in three to four weeks. Thomas is the team's leading scorer at 21.4 points and strained the same hamstring three times last season, limiting him to 25 games. He described the latest strain as less serious and expects to return fully healed. Egor Denim started in his place and coach Jordi Fernández emphasized team competitiveness and selflessness.
