Nic Claxton News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Ruled out for Thursday Claxton (ankle) will not play Thursday against the Cavaliers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Claxton missed the final game before the All-Star break with a hip issue. He's recovered from that injury, but he rolled his right ankle at practice Wednesday and will miss at least one contest. In his absence, Day'Ron Sharpe and Danny Wolf could be more involved.

Won't suit up Wednesday Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Claxton is dealing with right hip soreness and will miss just his third game of the season. The big man will have the All-Star break to recover, as his next opportunity to play will come Feb. 19 against the Cavaliers. With Claxton unavailable, Day'Ron Sharpe will likely get the starting nod, while Danny Wolf could see increased playing time.

Downgraded to doubtful Claxton has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana.

Impact Claxton has only missed two games all season but is in severe danger of missing a third, as his updated status indicates he will likely be sidelined against the Pacers. If Claxton officially can't go, Day'Ron Sharpe would be the biggest beneficiary, and Danny Wolf would also likely see some increased run as well.

Questionable for Wednesday Claxton is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with right hip soreness, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact This is a new injury for Claxton, and the Nets may opt to rest him against the struggling Pacers as a precaution. If he sits, Day'Ron Sharpe would likely get the start at center for Brooklyn.

Season-high 28 points Claxton provided 28 points (12-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 123-115 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Claxton took advantage of the fact that Chicago is without a proven NBA center, scoring a season-high 28 points, while also recording his first double-double in his past 22 appearances. Despite a consistent role, Claxton's overall value has taken a hit of late, thanks largely to the fact that his defensive contributions have been less than adequate. In fact, he has now failed to record a single block in five straight games. He remains a must-roster player, albeit one with a slightly limited ceiling.

Posts 14 points in loss Claxton racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-98 loss to Orlando.

Impact Claxton produced another mediocre line Thursday, and he has been averaging less production across every major category since Jan. 1 compared with his season-long numbers. While still a versatile contributor, his overall output has dipped in recent weeks. His next chance to get up to speed will be Feb. 7 against the Wizards.

Teases triple-double in loss Claxton notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The 26-year-old center came close to producing his third career triple-double, with the previous two both coming this season. Claxton has delivered solid secondary numbers since returning to the starting lineup Jan. 9, and over the last 12 games he's averaging 10.0 points, 6.7 boards, 4.2 assists and 1.6 blocks in 28.9 minutes a contest while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor.

Not listed on injury report Claxton (pinky) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Clippers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Claxton hurt the pinky finger on his right hand during Friday's loss to the Celtics, but he was able to play through it, and it looks like he'll continue to do so Sunday. Claxton is averaging 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 swats per contest this season.

Impact It's unclear when Claxton injured his finger, though he was able to finish Friday's contest. The big man was Brooklyn's third-leading scorer and tied the team-high mark in rebounds. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, and if he's unable to suit up, Day'Ron Sharpe would likely get the starting nod.

Handles big workload Monday Claxton produced 12 points (6-8 FG), eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Suns.

Impact With Day'Ron Sharpe sitting out with an illness, the Nets leaned heavily on Claxton at center Monday. Claxton continues to provide solid fantasy value in all formats, averaging 10.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 27.7 minutes per contest in nine games this month while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.
