Here is the latest news and possible return dates for Nets players…

Nov. 27, 1:57 p.m.

Nets star Cam Thomas — who’s been their leading scorer this season — is out at least three weeks with a left hamstring strain, then he’ll be re-evaluated, the team said. Thomas is averaging 24.7 points this season, and shooting 38.9 percent from three.

Brooklyn (8-10), which has won three out of its last four games, will also be without Nic Claxton (lower back injury, day-to-day) and Noah Clowney (left ankle sprain, will be re-evaluated in two weeks) against the Suns in Phoenix on Wednesday night.

The team added that Day’Ron Sharpe has resumed full on-court team activity and is expected to return to the lineup within the next week.

The Nets announced that Cam Thomas (back tightness) is probable to play in tonight’s road game against the rival Philadelphia 76ers. Thomas, who sat out Tuesday’s home win over the Charlotte Hornets, has averaged a team-high 24.6 points in 14 games.

Nic Claxton, who’s been sidelined since last week with a lower back strain, is also probable to play Friday. The sixth-year center has played in 11 games this season, averaging 8.6 points and a team-best 7.7 rebounds.

There’s also optimism of Dorian Finney-Smith returning to action against the 76ers. The Nets say the veteran forward has been nursing a left ankle sprain, although he managed to score 15 points with three assists and three boards in 27 minutes against the Hornets.

Nov. 15, 12:05 p.m.

Nic Claxton has been diagnosed with a lower back strain, the Nets announced Friday.

The center is scheduled to receive an epidural injection later in the day and will be reevaluated in a week. Claxton will miss at least the next three games, including Friday night’s NBA Cup game against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

The 25-year-old is averaging 8.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists through the first 11 games of the season in 24.8 minutes per game. He has seen a slightly reduced role (averaging five minutes less of time on the floor) and made just five starts after starting in all 71 games he played a year ago.
