Cam Thomas is no longer a member of the Brooklyn Nets .
After five seasons with the Nets, Brooklyn reportedly waived Thomas shortly after Thursday's NBA trade deadline. The Nets have been one of the league's most active teams as they rebuild for the future, and it seems Thomas was no longer a part of Brooklyn's long-term plans.

This season, Thomas averaged 15.6 points per game and 3.1 assists while shooting 39.9% from the field and 32.5% from beyond the arc. He played in just 24 games, starting eight of them, while missing time with a hamstring strain.
Waiving the 24-year-old should allow the Nets to continue prioritizing their young core and give more minutes to rookie point guards Egor Demin , Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf . All three rookies were drafted in the first round of this year's NBA draft.
Thomas, who was drafted by Brooklyn 27th overall in 2021, will become an unrestricted free agent this summer after signing a 1-year, $6-million qualifiying offer in September.
