The 24-year-old sustained the injury in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against Indiana. He was able to leave the court on his own, though he did not return to Brooklyn’s first win of the season.
It’s a tough blow for Thomas, who has now strained his left hamstring four different times in the past year. He was limited to just 25 games played last season due to the same issue.
There could be significant financial ramifications as a result of Thomas’ latest hamstring strain, he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2026 after signing his one-year, $6MM qualifying offer as a restricted free agent this past offseason.
If Thomas is able to return in exactly four weeks, which seems very optimistic given the repeated issues he’s had with his left hamstring, he will miss Brooklyn’s next 14 games.
