Tyrus Thomas Rumors & News

Tyrus Thomas The tale of a promising young prospect fluttering out like an old fluorescent light has been told far too many times. These are the kids who are given the keys to the city but end up disappointing the fans who put their faith in them. A man that fits that description perfectly would be Tyrus Thomas, the 4th overall pick in the 2006 draft by Chicago. Thomas stuck around with the Bulls for a majority of three seasons before being traded to the Bobcats in a 2010 trade deadline deal where Charlotte gave up Flip Murray, Acie Law and a protected future first round pick. Saying t...

The Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell is reporting the Bobcats have told Tyrus Thomas to not even bother accompanying the team on their four-game West coast trip. Bobcats president of basketball operations Rod Higgins said Monday the front office felt Thomas's time was better spent in Charlotte, doing some physical rehabilitation and individual on-court work, rather than be on the road with his team. Welcome to just the latest chapter in the depressing fall of Tyrus Thomas. Thomas seems headed straight for an amnesty this summer, with the Bobcats keeping him inactive for much of the ...

Usually mastering your craft is regarded as rising to the top of your guild. The cream of the crop. The mountaintop. But does it not take the same energy to be the bottom of your craft? No, you're right, I guess it doesn't. Still, Tyrus Thomas and DeSagana Diop have mastered the art of being completely terrible basketball players. For one, neither can get minutes on the court right now. For the Bobcats. In the frontcourt. Diop has been approaching this level for a while. He has a reputation for being a solid defender, but really, I think his reputation has long outlasted his actual ski...

Today, @BobcatsbballPR tweeted that Bobcats forwards Byron Mullens and Tyrus Thomas had been upgraded to a gametime decision for Saturday's game against Houston. Mullens has missed the last five weeks with a severe ankle sprain, and Tyrus has dealt with multiple leg injuries since November. Their return is mostly good news because the Bobcats need help, especially in the frontcourt, and having more options in general never hurt anybody. This may not solve their issues at their positions, but the return of Mullens and Tyrus will present the team with a good chance to evaluate the return...

Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas was forced to miss Wednesday’s game against the Spurs due to a left knee contusion. It is not clear when he suffered the injury, and he is being considered day to day due to the injury.

Jeff Adrien will start at power forward tonight against the Bulls, replacing Hakim Warrick, per Charlotte Bobcats PR. Warrick has been rather ineffective lately (well, most times, really). His shooting on season has fallen below 40 percent, his rebounding percentages are worse than Tyrus Thomas's and he's a very poor defender. Adrien is no Blake Griffin, but he's been a good signing so far. His rebounding percentages are some of the best on the team and he scores more efficiently than Warrick or Thomas. He also defends better than Warrick, blocks more shots and doesn't use nearly as ma...
