Impact Claxton is dealing with right hip soreness and will miss just his third game of the season.

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

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.

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.
