Scores 30 points in loss Thomas contributed 30 points (12-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 125-120 loss to Dallas.

Impact Thomas delivered a strong effort off the bench in the season opener, and he kept the momentum going with another stellar display on the offensive end of the court. Placing Thomas in the starting lineup moved Ben Simmons to the frontcourt, and while it remains to be seen if this will be a permanent change, as his move to the starting lineup happened due to the injury of Nic Claxton (ankle), Thomas should remain valuable in most fantasy formats due to his scoring ability alone.

Joins starting lineup Thomas will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Evan Barnes of Newsday Sports reports.

Impact With Nic Claxton (ankle) ruled out, the Nets will move Dorian Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons to the frontcourt for a much smaller lineup. Thomas exploded for 36 points Wednesday night and will look to keep building some momentum against Dallas.

Team option picked up The Nets exercised Thomas' team option for 2024-25 on Thursday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Thomas started his third season off in Brooklyn with a bang, dropping 36 points off the bench against Cleveland. While Thomas averaged just 16.6 minutes per contest last season, his 10.6 points per game shows he can produce when given the opportunity. The 22-year-old guard will now stay with the Nets at least through 2024-25.

Sets NBA record Wednesday Thomas registered 36 points (13-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact The offensive eruption set a new league record for a bench player in a team's season-opening contest, breaking the old mark held by Milwaukee's Ricky Pierce, who dropped 35 points in the first game of the 1989-90 campaign. Thomas, the 27th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, saw his production tick up slightly in his sophomore season and has already demonstrated he can score in bunches, but until he proves the rest of his game isn't a liability, his role and court time could fluctuate once again.

Moves to bench Thomas won't start Wednesday's preseason game against the Heat.

Impact Thomas will shift back to a bench role with Mikal Bridges back in action. The former, an LSU product, has impressed during the preseason thus far, but he's still slated to handle a backup role during the regular season.

Strong game against 76ers Thomas had 18 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 23 minutes in Monday's 127-119 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact Thomas had some notable performances last season and showed he can be a valuable piece in any rotation, though it remains to be seen if he'll be deployed as a starter or off the bench in the upcoming season, with the second option being the most likely case, especially with a healthy Ben Simmons operating as a playmaker. Thomas is averaging 17.0 points per game in three preseason contests.

Leads team with 26 points Thomas recorded 26 points (9-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists and two rebounds across 22 minutes in Monday's 129-126 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The departure of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving opened up more opportunities for other players, but it didn't translate into a huge boost for Thomas last season. Spencer Dinwiddie will still be the featured player in the backcourt, but Thomas played alongside him during Monday's game and appeared to be a better fit than Ben Simmons and Dennis Smith, who are the other leading candidates for a backcourt role. Depending on the matchup, Mikal Bridges will occasionally slide over to off-guard alongside Dinwiddie, so the backcourt situation will likely be in flux for the time being. Thomas' output is worth monitoring as the preseason progresses.
