Free agent Cam Thomas has agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The terms for the deal were not initially disclosed.
Thomas averaged 21.4 points per game over the past three seasons with the Brooklyn Nets.
The 24-year-old guard was waived by the Nets on Thursday, Feb. 5, after the trade deadline.
He had signed a one-year, $5.9 million qualifying offer in September and was set to become a free agent after the season.
Thomas is expected to help bolster a Milwaukee roster that still features Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo was a popular name in trade rumors leading up to the deadline but was not traded by the Bucks.
