Overview
- The Nets said Thomas sustained a left hamstring strain in the first quarter at Indiana and will be reevaluated in about three to four weeks.
- Head coach Jordi Fernández reiterated the timetable, and Thomas said the strain is “not as bad as the last one” and that he “dodged a bullet.”
- Without Thomas, Brooklyn fell 125-107 to Detroit, dropping to 1-8 overall and 0-5 at home as the offense stalled.
- Thomas is playing on a one-year, $6 million qualifying offer, keeping him on track for unrestricted free agency in 2026.
- A sports-medicine specialist told the New York Post the profile could align with a Grade 2 strain, often a 4–6 week recovery, and cautioned about recurrence given his history.
