The Brooklyn Nets earned their inaugural win of the 2025-26 campaign on Wednesday night, defeating the Indiana Pacers despite losing leading scorer Cam Thomas to an in-game injury.
The matchup, played on November 5, saw Brooklyn halt its season-opening skid, moving to 1-x on the year. Thomas, who had powered the Nets’ offense through the opening weeks, left the floor in the second half and did not return. The team did not immediately disclose details about the nature or severity of the injury.
Even without the guard, the Nets relied on contributions from the remaining rotation to close out Indiana and secure the long-awaited result. The victory also marked the club’s first under head coach Jacque Vaughn this season.
Brooklyn’s next contest is scheduled for later this week, when the Nets face another Eastern Conference opponent. Thomas’s status for that game remains uncertain pending further evaluation.
