Brooklyn Nets' Leading Scorer Cam Thomas Sidelined for Two Weeks Due to Ankle Sprain

Injury confirmed by MRI following incident in Nets' 100-93 victory over LA Clippers; Thomas to be re-evaluated after fortnight off.

Cam Thomas, the Brooklyn Nets' top scorcard, will miss a minimum of two weeks after a left ankle sprain sustained during the Nets' win over the LA Clippers.
Thomas suffered the injury after stepping on a player's foot, twisting his ankle; an MRI scan confirmed the sprain.
Before his injury, Thomas was having a stellar first full season as a starter, averaging 26.9 points per game, positioning him 10th in the league.
Brooklyn Nets are likely to lean more on Lonnie Walker IV, who replaced Thomas in the lineup against the Clippers and scored a team-high 21 points.
The absence of Thomas, who recently scored a season-high 45 points against the Milwaukee Bucks, comes ahead of a challenging matchup with the Boston Celtics.
