Cam Thomas is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, according to the Nets, who announced Saturday that the fourth-year guard has been diagnosed with another left hamstring strain.

It’s a disappointing end to an injury-plagued season for Thomas, who missed most of December due to a left hamstring strain, returned for two games, then aggravated the injury on Jan. 2 and was sidelined for 24 more contests before making his most recent return in late February.

Thomas was a major offensive threat when he was healthy, leading the Nets in scoring with 24.0 points per game and bumping his assists to a career-high 3.8 per game.

However, his production was inconsistent after dealing with those hamstring issues.

Through his first 17 outings in October and November, Thomas scored efficiently, with a .461 FG% and .389 3PT% — those rates dropped to a .395 FG% and .275 3PT% in his final eight appearances.

It’s a contract year for Thomas, who is in the final year of his rookie deal and will be eligible for restricted free agency this offseason.

In the fall, he appeared headed for a significant payday, but it’s unclear how his lost second half might affect his negotiations over the summer.

It seems safe to assume the 23-year-old will still receive a qualifying offer from the Nets, making him an RFA. Because he’ll fall eight starts shy of meeting the “starter criteria,” that QO will be worth $5.99M instead of $8.74M.

As long as that qualifying offer is on the table, Thomas could accept it and play out next season on a one-year deal before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

He’d likely only consider that path if he can’t agree to terms on a multiyear deal with Brooklyn and doesn’t receive an offer sheet he likes from a rival suitor.

Keon Johnson has frequently been the odd man out of the starting lineup since Thomas’ return a couple of weeks ago.

He figures to regain his starting spot alongside Nic Claxton, Cameron Johnson, D’Angelo Russell and Ziaire Williams now that Thomas is inactive again.
