Nance, 26, entered Monday night\u2019s game with the Los Angeles Clippers having averaged 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 12.1 minutes in 37 games while playing on a two-way deal.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Thomas signed with the Bucks<\/a> on Feb. 8 after the Brooklyn Nets had waived him.<\/p>\n Thomas scored 34 points in a 116-108 victory<\/a> at Orlando in his Bucks debut and had 27 points in a 139-118 win<\/a> at New Orleans nine days later, but his role eventually decreased. He didn\u2019t play at all in back-to-back games with Indiana and Cleveland last week.<\/p>\n \u201cWe ran out of bodies, and at the end of the day, there were guys you had to make a decision on,\u201d head coach Doc Rivers said. \u201cI thought Cam was really good overall, and he may be somebody we revisit. Just where we\u2019re at right now, you know, not really in the hunt as when we signed him, we thought it was the right thing to do for the rest of the guys right now.\u201d<\/p>\n This move continues what\u2019s been a difficult season for Thomas, who had scored 22.5 points per game in 2023-24 and 24 points per game in 2024-25 while playing for Brooklyn.<\/p>\n Thomas was averaging 15.6 points in 24 games with Brooklyn this season before the Nets waived him. He averaged 10.7 points and 16.6 minutes in 18 games with Milwaukee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES \u2014 The Milwaukee Bucks requested waivers on guard Cam Thomas and converted forward\/center Pete Nance, who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[41445,2722,2724,355,3,99,452,1745],"class_list":["post-542223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-app-sports","tag-app-top-stories","tag-associated-press","tag-nba","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-stories","tag-wisconsin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
