NEW YORK (AP) - Cam Thomas, the Brooklyn Nets' leading scorer, is expected to miss the rest of the season with a strained left hamstring.
The Nets said Saturday that Thomas was injured during their [loss at Chicago](https://apnews.com/article/nets-bulls-score-373a040ef0a5af490bd377261e6d9815) on Thursday, when he had his first career double-double, getting 24 points and a career-best 10 assists. The team said it was unlikely he could appropriately recover with the amount of time left in the season.
Brooklyn has less than a month left before the regular season ends April 13.
Thomas averaged 24 points, with a team-high six 30-point games, but was limited to just 25 appearances. He missed 37 games with an injury to the hamstring after initially hurting it in November.
Thomas can become a free agent after this season.
