With Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton and Royce O’Neale on the sidelines, Cam Thomas once again proved he owns the NBA Summer League by dropping 31 points — 17 in the fourth quarter — but a big comeback failed at the end and the Bucks beat the Nets in Las Vegas, 94-90.
Thomas, who averaged 27.0 points and was Summer League Co-MVP last year, finished 11-of-23, but only 1-of-6 from deep, including a couple of late misses. Thomas almost single-handedly brought Brooklyn back from a 17-point deficit at the start of the fourth, getting the Nets within three with 25.
