Nets Top Scorer Cam Thomas Leaves Pacers Game Due to Hamstring Injury

The Brooklyn Nets face a challenging start to their season, now compounded by the absence of their top scorer, Cam Thomas. During a recent game against the Indiana Pacers, Thomas sustained what appeared to be a hamstring injury.

Impact on Team Performance

This injury comes at a critical time for the Nets. They are still in search of their first victory of the 2025-26 season, with a current record of 0-7. Meanwhile, the Pacers are struggling as well, with a record of 1-6 after a disappointing showing in the NBA Finals last season.
