ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Bucks waived guard Cam Thomas to convert Pete Nance's two-way contract into a standard NBA deal, aiming to adjust their roster amid a challenging season.
- Thomas was initially praised for his scoring ability, notably a 34-point game early on, but his role diminished as he averaged 9.6 points and 1.9 assists over 16 games since mid-February.
- Bucks coach Doc Rivers acknowledged Thomas's overall positive impact but cited roster constraints and the team's current standing outside playoff contention as reasons for the move.
- Pete Nance has become a valuable contributor for Milwaukee, playing a career-high 37 games and improving his minutes and efficiency, averaging 5.2 points on 56% shooting since February.
- Thomas will be ineligible for the postseason if unsigned by another team due to being waived after the March 1 deadline.
