Bucks Waive Cam Thomas
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Bucks have officially waived guard Cam Thomas, as announced by the team and reported by ESPN's Shams Charania.
- Thomas was released to make room for Pete Nance, who was promoted from a two-way contract to a multiyear standard deal.
- Despite initial optimism from Bucks management and coach Doc Rivers, Thomas saw reduced playing time and reportedly may have requested a change after limited minutes and two recent DNP-CDs.
- Thomas averaged 10.6 points, 1.9 assists, and 1.6 rebounds over 18 games with Milwaukee but struggled defensively and with turnovers.
- If Thomas clears waivers, the Bucks will carry a dead-money cap hit of $844,607, and he will be ineligible for the playoffs due to being waived after March 1.
