Flirts with triple-double in loss Claxton provided 16 points (8-9 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami.

Impact Claxton was held to just 10 points his last time out, but he matched that total by halftime Thursday night and finished as the second-leading scorer behind Michael Porter. Additionally, Claxton racked up five defensive stats after failing to record a steal or a block during Sunday's blowout win over Milwaukee. He'll look to keep it going Sunday against the Raptors.

Scores eight points on 13 shots Clowney ended Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami with eight points (2-13 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes.

Impact Clowney got off to a rough start in this one, missing his first five shots. He also finished 0-for-9 from distance. Clowney banged his left knee late in the second quarter and retreated to the bench, and while he was able to play through it, it did seem to be bothering him. The good news is that Clowney will have a full two days to rest up before Brooklyn's next game versus Toronto on Sunday.

Scores 28 points with five treys Porter ended Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami with 28 points (10-24 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.

Impact Porter has been struggling from an efficiency standpoint the past two games, going 14-for-35 from the floor and 7-for-21 from three-point range. He's shooting 49.3 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from distance on the season, though, so it should only be a matter of time until Porter finds his rhythm again.

Won't return Thursday Powell will not return to Thursday's game versus the Heat due to a right ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Powell initially sprained his right ankle in Brooklyn's season-opening loss to Charlotte, which forced him to spend six games on the sidelines. The severity of Powell's new ankle sprain isn't clear, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss Sunday's matchup with the Raptors. While Powell is out there should be more minutes available for Jalen Wilson.

Headed to locker room Powell went back to the locker room during Thursday's game with an apparent right ankle injury, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Powell seemed to tweak the same right ankle that has given him so much trouble this season, and he was sporting a serious limp as he was helped back to the locker room. For now, Powell should be considered questionable to return.

Still not taking contact Highsmith (knee) has progressed to going through on-court work, but he's still not been cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 drills, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Highsmith underwent a procedure to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee back in August, and while he continues to make steady progress in his recovery, he remains without an official timetable to return. The fact that he still has not been cleared for contact tells us he's not close.
