Milwaukee — Free-agent guard Cam Thomas has reached an agreement to join the Milwaukee Bucks, agent Tony Ronzone of Wasserman told ESPN on Sunday.
The 24-year-old scorer arrives after being waived by the Brooklyn Nets earlier in the week. Thomas had spent four-plus seasons with Brooklyn, averaging 21.4 points across the past three campaigns. This season he has appeared in 24 games, posting 15.6 points per contest despite missing 20 games with a left hamstring strain.
Milwaukee, still pushing for contention alongside two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, gains an immediate offensive boost. “My next team is getting elite scoring, good playmaking and a good combo guard,” Thomas told ESPN Andscape’s Marc Spears shortly after he cleared waivers.
Thomas accepted a $5.9 million qualifying offer last summer after extension talks with the Nets stalled, positioning him to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
