MILWAUKEE — Cam Thomas was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks on March 23, 2026, catching many off guard. After just 6 weeks with the team, the scoring guard's tenure in Wisconsin has come to an unexpected end.

WHAT HAPPENED

THOMAS' BUCKS STATS

18
Games Played
10.7
PPG
16.6
MPG

WHY THEY DID IT

No Consistent Role

Thomas never found a defined spot in the Bucks' rotation

Efficiency & Fit Issues

Shooting splits were rough, and his style didn't match the team's needs

WHY IT'S SURPRISING

The move caught many around the league off guard because:

  • The Bucks just signed him in early February after Brooklyn waived him
  • Coaches and management initially talked him up as a potential key piece
  • Teams rarely cut players this late in the season unless something clearly wasn't working
"Cam Thomas is a pure scorer. What he does well is put the ball in the basket. But contending teams like Milwaukee need defense, consistency, and defined roles."

— NBA Executive

WHAT'S NEXT

WAIVERS PROCESS

1

Thomas goes on waivers

2

Any team can claim him before the claim period expires

3

If unclaimed, he becomes a free agent

If Thomas clears waivers, he'll likely become an attractive buyout pickup for a scoring-needy team looking for instant offense off the bench.
