BREAKING: Cam Thomas is officially heading to Boston, as the high-scoring guard has agreed to a 1-year, \$6 million contract with the Celtics. The move instantly gives the reigning Eastern Conference champions a dynamic scoring punch off the bench, one that could reshape their second-unit production.
Thomas, 22, spent his first three seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, where he became known for his explosive scoring ability. Though often limited in minutes, he showcased an undeniable knack for getting buckets, highlighted by multiple 40-point games early in his career. His fearless offensive game and microwave scoring ability make him a valuable addition to a Celtics team that has often struggled to maintain offensive flow when their stars sit.
For Boston, this signing reflects a continued effort to solidify depth while managing cap flexibility. With Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown anchoring the wing and Jrue Holiday running the point, Thomas can slot in as a pure scorer without heavy defensive responsibility. The Celtics have prided themselves on versatility, but Thomas brings a specialist skill set—instant offense—that could prove critical in close games and deep playoff runs.
At just one year, the deal poses little long-term risk for Boston. If Thomas flourishes, the Celtics could explore a longer commitment next offseason. If not, they maintain financial flexibility heading into 2026. Either way, the move signals Boston’s urgency to maximize its championship window.
For Thomas, this is an opportunity to prove he can be more than a spark plug scorer. Surrounded by veteran leadership and a championship-caliber roster, he’ll have the chance to refine his game, contribute in meaningful moments, and raise his stock for the future.
Boston fans can expect fireworks—Cam Thomas is bringing his scoring show to TD Garden.
