The Brooklyn Nets’ latest injury report offers a mix of positives and negatives, as detailed by Brian Lewis of The New York Post. The team’s leading scorer, Cam Thomas, has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns due to left hamstring soreness.
Thomas has been dealing with multiple physical issues recently, including an illness and a sore back. He was pulled from Monday’s matchup against Golden State in the third quarter, with head coach Jordi Fernandez stating it was to “protect him from himself.”
Joining Thomas on the sidelines will be rookie big man Noah Clowney, who will miss his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. The Nets have not yet provided an update on Clowney’s MRI results, leaving his return timeline uncertain.
However, there is some optimism for Brooklyn. Nic Claxton (lower back soreness), Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle sprain), and Cameron Johnson (right ankle sprain) are all listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game.
Claxton and Finney-Smith missed Monday’s contest, while Johnson left in the first half due to his injury. Meanwhile, Ben Simmons, who was sidelined on Monday for lower back injury management, is no longer on the injury report and is expected to be available for Wednesday’s game.
