Nets' Cam Thomas Hamstring Strain — Out 3–4 Weeks

Merlin sees that Cam Thomas will miss at least three to four weeks with a left hamstring strain, suffered on a first-quarter jumper in Brooklyn’s 112–103 win over Indiana. It matters because Thomas is averaging 21.4 points, was limited to 25 games last season by left hamstring trouble, and the Nets sit 1–7. Coach Jordi Fernández warned, "Unless you're a doctor or you saw the film, I don't know if it's the same injury or not." Merlin senses this is more than a short hiccup. Brooklyn will lean on Tyrese Martin and Terance Mann, but hamstrings are tricky and prone to recurrence; Thomas’ rehab timeline will affect his trade value and Brooklyn’s fragile season trajectory.
