Nets’ Cam Thomas returns after missing nearly two months with injury: ‘Decent first game back’

Cam Thomas’ return to the court took two months — and too long.

The Nets’ young guard finally made his comeback Friday night, after an absence that lasted 57 days but felt even longer.

“Totally. I’ve never been out this much ever, so it’s definitely an adjustment,” Thomas said shortly before tipoff of Friday’s 121-102 loss to the Trail Blazers at Barclays Center. “But I’m just glad to be back; ready to get on the court and play again. So, it feels good.”

Friday marked Thomas’ first action since Jan. 2, sidelined by a strained hamstring. He went right back into the starting lineup and shared team-high scoring honors with 16 points in just 21:18, albeit shooting just 7-for-17 and 0-for-4 from deep.

“Decent first game back,” Thomas said.
