[The Athletic] Glenn Rivers on why Cam Thomas fell out of favor with the Milwaukee Bucks: “There are things that we don’t need to talk about. That’s not anybody’s business.”
Now, just over a month and a half after signing with the Bucks, Thomas’ tenure with Milwaukee is over.
“It’s just a tough one, honestly,” Rivers said. “We ran out of bodies. At the end of the day, there were guys we had to make a decision on, and I thought Cam was really good overall.
“And maybe someday, we’ll revisit, but where we’re at right now, not really in the hunt like when we signed him, we thought it was the right thing to do for the rest of the guys right now.”
When asked what went wrong for Thomas as time went on and why he fell out of favor with the coaching staff in Milwaukee, Rivers chose against going into detail on the decision.
“There are things that we don’t need to talk about,” Rivers said. “That’s not anybody’s business. Like I said before, that’s where as a coach, you have to make decisions on what’s the best thing for the team at that time.”
The timing of Thomas’ release means he is ineligible to participate in the postseason if another NBA team picks him up.
