The Brooklyn Nets emerged as one of the strongest teams in the East until Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant found their way out. Since then, the team has barely managed to establish themselves as a dominant side. However, there had been sparks of talent outbursts from Cam Thomas after the trade drama. The rising star hasn’t seemed to hold back since then. After a disappointing end to their 2023 playoff campaign, the Nets have come back stronger on the court. Especially Thomas, who produced an outstanding performance against LeBron James’ Los Angeles Lakers during the Monday night preseason game.

The Nets officially started off their 2023-24 NBA season?s campaign with their preseason opener. While the hoops community?s attention completely fell over King James, as he returned to court after months. On the other hand, Cam Thomas asserted his domination with a spurt of buckets.?

Cam Thomas shines amid LeBron James? return

During the media day, LeBron James revealed that he will only play 3 out of 6 preseason games, considering rest before regular season. After sitting out on the first game against the Golden State Warriors, he played the second against the Nets. Importantly, he produced several brilliant plays in his 17 minutes. Amid this hype, Cam Thomas also shined.

The 21-year-old star led the scoreboard for the Nets with 26 points in 22 minutes with 2 rebounds and 2 assists. The rising star seemed to be on a roll when he went from strength to strength against the Lakers’ Austin Reaves on the court. In an exciting stretch of play, the duo dropped 5 three pointers within a minute. Out of which three were dropped by Thomas.

Stepping into the third season of his career, Thomas seemed to be in fine form for the Nets. Apart from him, Ben Simmons also showed signs of domination in the game.
