Cam Thomas scored a career-high 44 points off the bench to lead the Brooklyn Nets to an inspiring 23-point comeback in a 125-123 win over the stunned Washington Wizards Saturday night as they prepare to move on without disgruntled star Kyrie Irving, who requested a trade.
The Nets have improved to 7-4 without Irving this season and 77-58 overall since he signed with the team in 2019.
According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the Nets plan to sit out Irving until a deal is finalized ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
