"The most notable player on Brooklyn's IR is Cam Thomas, who suffered a hamstring injury days ago, and will now be sidelined for three to four weeks. Thomas was the second-leading scorer on the team through eight games, averaging 21.4 points and 2.6 assists per game. Thomas' absence is sure to be felt, as he hadn't shot the ball well so far, but still added plenty of scoring gravity to a team that desperately needed it."
"The Knicks have so far underperformed relative to their preseason expectations, getting out to a 5-3 start. Despite that, they still have one of the more talented starting fives in the league, led by Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and more. New York will be looking to use Sunday's game as a springboard to get back to the top of the East, which is currently occupied by Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia."
Brooklyn faces the New York Knicks aiming for its second win of the season after securing a first victory against the Pacers. The Nets have improved defensively but need further development from coach Jordi Fernandez and the front office. Cam Thomas is sidelined 3–4 weeks with a left hamstring injury after averaging 21.4 points and 2.6 assists through eight games, removing a primary scoring option. Haywood Highsmith remains out after a setback and has yet to debut. The Knicks are 5-3, possess a strong starting five led by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, and seek to climb the Eastern standings.
