The Nets have taken out some "insurance" on Antoine Wright's ankle...in the person of Billy Thomas, a 6'-5" swingman. He broke into the NBA with the Nets in 2005 and has been playing for the team's D-League affiliate, the Colorado 14ers. Thomas, 32 Sunday, is known as a long-range shooter and defender. He's played overseas as well as in the D-League. Thomas is expected to be in uniform Wednesday.
