In a post shared by NBC Sports, the Milwaukee Bucks have officially signed free agent guard Cam Thomas for the remainder of the season. Thomas, known for his explosive volume scoring, was waived by the Brooklyn Nets after a trade failed to materialize before the deadline.
According to Thomas, he chose Milwaukee specifically because the team had expressed interest in his talents for several years. He joins a Bucks squad looking for consistent bench production as they prepare for a deep playoff run.
Thomas averaged 15.6 points in 24 games with Brooklyn this season, including a standout 41-point performance. His addition provides the Bucks with a “microwave” scorer who can take the offensive load off Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is currently sidelined with an injury.
* Times of India (NBA Report): “Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play against the Magic… while the Bucks sign free agent Cam Thomas.”
* Rotoworld: “Thomas had wanted to be waived so he could pick his next team… he signed a veteran minimum deal.”
Echotitbits Take: This is a low-risk, high-reward move for Milwaukee. Cam Thomas can score in bunches, and if he finds his efficiency in a winning system, he could be the X-factor the Bucks need in the Eastern Conference. Watch for his debut tonight to see how he fits alongside the Bucks’ veteran core.
