Claxton's efficiency has decreased slightly from last year, going from shooting 70.5 percent from the field in 2022-23 to 63.2 percent in 2023-24.

Officially cleared to play Claxton (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Claxton was probable for Wednesday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him cleared to return following a one-game absence. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 9.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.0 minutes per game.

Will likely play Wednesday Claxton (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Claxton was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Kings, marking his first absence since Dec. 27, but will return to action Wednesday. Over his last eight appearances, Claxton has averaged 9.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 31.6 minutes per game.

Downgraded to out Claxton (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Claxton will miss his first game since Dec. 27 after spraining his left ankle during Saturday's win over Detroit. In the wake of Claxton's absence, Noah Clowney should be the favorite to enter the first unit for his first career start, while Day'Ron Sharpe handles most of the backup work at the five. Claxton's next chance to go will come Wednesday against Toronto

APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with left ankle sprain Claxton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Claxton finished Saturday's win over Detroit with five points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks but tweaked his left ankle, though no injury was reported during the contest. Given Sunday's matchup is the second half of a back-to-back set and the Nets have already been eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, it wouldn't be surprising to see them rest most of their regulars versus Sacramento. Cameron Johnson (toe) and Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) have already been ruled out, while Dennis Schroder (Achilles) joins Claxton as questionable.

Swats four shots in win Claxton totaled 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Pacers.

Impact Claxton recorded a team-high 13 rebounds during Wednesday's win en route to his 29th double-double of the season. The 24-year-old big man has also been a shot-blocking machine, tallying 11 games with at least four rejections so far in 2023-24.

Owns glass in double-double outing Claxton recorded 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 122-119 overtime win over Washington.

Impact Claxton took care of business on the glass while leading all players in Wednesday's contest in rebounds to go along with a game-leading trio of blocks en route to the lone double-double on the night for the Nets. Claxton has hauled in 10 or more boards in two straight games, posting his fourth double-double over the last 10 contests.

Grabs 16 rebounds Mondayq Claxton supplied nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 96-88 win over the Raptors.

Impact Claxton didn't have his best scoring performance Monday, but it wasn't due to a lack of efficiency, as he made four of his five attempts from the field. He certainly made his presence felt on the glass, and he ended just one rebound shy from tying his season-high mark in that category. Claxton has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in eight of his 13 appearances this month.

Sniffs double-double Thursday Claxton finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-108 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Claxton finished just one rebound shy of recording what would've been his seventh double-double of the current month (11 appearances). The big man has been extremely productive in recent weeks, averaging 14.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game since the beginning of March. Those numbers play out in any format due to his consistent two-way contributions.

Available for Thursday's game Claxton (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Milwaukee, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Claxton didn't participate in Thursday's morning shootaround due to his non-COVID illness, but he's been cleared to suit up despite the issue. Over his last five outings, he's averaged 10.8 points and 9.0 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.

MARCH 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not present for shootaround Claxton (illness), who is questionable for Thursday's game against Milwaukee, wasn't at the Nets' morning shootaround, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Although Claxton didn't participate in Brooklyn's morning shootaround, he's with the team in Milwaukee, so it's still possible he suits up. If he's unavailable, Day'Ron Sharpe, Trendon Watford and Noah Clowney could see additional minutes.

Questionable for Thursday Claxton is questionable for Thursday's game against Milwaukee due to an illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Claxton hasn't missed a game since late December, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Thursday due to his illness. Over 10 appearances in March, he's averaged 13.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 blocks in 30.5 minutes per game. If he's sidelined, Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford are candidates to handle increased roles.

Records double-double Sunday Claxton racked up 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to the Spurs.

Impact Claxton recorded his 26th double-double of the season, and it's worth noting he's achieved that feat in five of his last seven appearances as well, cementing his status as a bonafide two-way threat in a struggling Brooklyn team. Claxton is averaging 13.9 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game this month.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Top rebounder in double-double Claxton had 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 120-101 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Claxton led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of four Nets with 15 or more points in a double-double showing. Claxton has been a double-double machine for Brooklyn as of late, now doing so in five of his last six contests.

Double-double in Detroit Claxton notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 118-112 loss to the Pistons.

Impact It's his third double-double in the last four games and 23rd of the season, but it's Claxton's defensive efforts that stand out the most. The 24-year-old center has recorded multiple blocks nine times in 16 contests since the beginning of February, a stretch in which he's averaging 11.6 points, 8.6 boards, 2.3 blocks and 2.1 assists while shooting 61.4 percent from the floor.

Double-doubles with four blocks Claxton notched 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 112-107 win over the 76ers.

Impact Claxton missed just two shots from the field in this one, but perhaps more importantly, he recorded his 22nd double-double of the campaign, as well as his 33rd outing with two or more blocks. A key two-way player for the Nets, Claxton is an excellent two-way alternative in category-based leagues, particularly due to his high shooting percentages and his impact on the defensive end.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in loss to Memphis Claxton closed Monday's 106-102 loss to the Grizzlies with 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes.

Impact Claxton is one of the best two-way big men in The Association and is capable of recording a double-double every time he steps on the court. Even though such wasn't the case Monday, Claxton still posted a solid stat line, and he continues to play a pivotal role for Brooklyn on both ends of the court. The big man is averaging 11.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 blocks per game since the beginning of February.

Fills stat sheet in win Saturday Claxton accumulated 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Claxton delivered a much-needed bounce-back performance in this game, battling against Clint Capela down low and registering his first double-double since Feb. 3. Claxton has proven he can get the job done on both ends of the court on a steady basis. Still, he had been very inconsistent of late, averaging only 10.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game across 12 February appearances.
