Out again Friday Claxton (finger) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Claxton will miss a fourth straight game, and it's unlikely he'll suit up during Sunday's regular-season finale in Toronto. E.J. Liddell should draw another start at center in Claxton's absence.

Won't play Thursday Claxton (finger) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana.

Impact Claxton will miss a third consecutive contest due to a sprained finger, and his penultimate chance to suit up this season will come Friday in Milwaukee.

Still out Tuesday Claxton (finger) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

Impact Claxton will miss a second consecutive game Tuesday. However, with only three more contests left after the meeting with the Bucks, there's a chance the 26-year-old won't be back on the floor until the start of the 2026-27 campaign. With Claxton sidelined again, E.J. Liddell is the favorite to remain in the starting lineup.

Hawks beat the Nets 141-107 for their 4th straight win and 18th in 20 games

CJ McCollum had 25 points and seven assists and the surging Atlanta Hawks routed the Brooklyn Nets 141-107 on Friday night for their fourth straight victory and 18th in 20 games

Available to play Claxton (hand) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Claxton was previously carrying a probable tag for the Nets, but he will power through issues to his wrist on top of an illness. Based on previous outings, the Nets will likely be cautious with his workload.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Friday Claxton (hand/illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Claxton is dealing with an illness and right hand soreness, though he's still likely to suit up Friday. The big man has averaged 9.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 22.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances. He's been seeing limited playing time of late and hasn't logged more than 23 minutes since March 7.

Non-factor in loss Tuesday Claxton had four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Claxton's apparent disinterest continues to shine through, turning in another underwhelming performance. Despite being a regular fixture in the starting lineup, he has been outside the top 250 in 14 games over the past month. During that time, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. At this point, he is nowhere near being a must-roster player.

Absent from injury report Claxton (rest) is off the injury report for Monday's game against Portland, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

Impact After missing Sunday's loss to the Kings, Claxton is set to return to the court Monday. The rebuilding Nets are beginning to dial back Claxton's workload, with the big man averaging 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 21.2 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

Ruled out versus Kings Claxton (rest) won't play in Sunday's game in Sacramento, according to Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.

Impact Claxton won't suit up for the first of back-to-back contests to rest. He'll likely be back Monday in Portland. With Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) done for the remainder of the campaign, the Nets will need to go small on Sunday, although Danny Wolf should absorb most of the minutes underneath the basket.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles continues Friday Claxton supplied eight points (4-7 FG) and seven rebounds in 22 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to New York.

Impact Claxton has been slumping badly in recent weeks, and Friday's loss means he's now scored in double digits in just two of his nine appearances since the beginning of March. Over that stretch, the veteran big man has averaged just 7.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, as this month has been his least productive of the season by a wide margin.
