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.

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.

Double-double in defeat Claxton ended with 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 20 minutes in Monday's 114-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Claxton snapped a four-game stretch of single-digit scoring with a 12-point performance while also recording his first double-double since Feb. 9. The big man is now up to 11 double-doubles this season, though nine of those came before the calendar flipped to 2026. After averaging 9.9 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign, Claxton's production on the glass has dipped over the past two seasons, as he entered Monday averaging 7.1 rebounds across 60 appearances.

Not listed on injury report Claxton (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Trail Blazers.

Impact Claxton will return from a one-game absence Monday, and he should see his usual minutes as a starter. Through six games in March, Claxton has put in averages of 6.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Will rest Saturday Claxton will be rested Saturday against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact This is simply a maintenance day for Brooklyn's starting center. Look for him to be back in action Monday against the 76ers. Danny Wolf is likely going to shoulder a sizable workload Saturday.

Doesn't do much over 21 minutes Claxton racked up eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 loss to the Hawks.

Impact This was Claxton's second straight game without any defensive statistics, and his fourth consecutive single-digit scoring performance. He's been quiet over that four-game stretch, posting meager averages of 5.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest.

Season-low two points Claxton chipped in two points (1-5 FG), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 107-105 win over the Pistons.

Impact Claxton was invisible on the offensive end, going for a season-low two points. Although he was able to somewhat salvage his evening with three blocks, Claxton's overall production of late has been mostly underwhelming. In 10 appearances over the past month, he has been outside the top 200 in standard leagues, averaging 13.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks.

Sniffs double-double Claxton chipped in 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 loss to the Heat.

Impact Claxton was limited to just four points and five rebounds in Tuesday's game against the Heat, and while the Nets suffered another blowout loss, at least Claxton had a better performance this time around. With double-digit points in all but one of his last 11 appearances, Claxton should continue to handle a decent workload on offense for Brooklyn. That, coupled with his starting role and consistent playing time, makes him an interesting frontcourt option across all formats.

Cleared to play Claxton (thumb) is good to go for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Impact After missing Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Claxton is no longer on the injury report and is set to return. With this news, Day'Ron Sharpe's floor will be lower in fantasy hoops as he likely retreats to the bench.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

On track for Tuesday Claxton (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat, Collin Helwig of NetsDaily reports.

Impact Claxton was held out of Sunday's matchup due to a right thumb injury, but the team expects him back in action Tuesday. Expect official confirmation on his availability closer to tipoff.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Claxton (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Claxton popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a right thumb sprain, and the injury is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's contest. Day'Ron Sharpe should serve as the Nets' starting center against the Cavaliers in Claxton's absence. Claxton's next chance to play is Tuesday against Miami.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing thumb injury Claxton is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right thumb sprain, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Claxton may have picked up the injury during the Nets' 148-111 loss to the Celtics on Friday, when he logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes. Day'Ron Sharpe would likely serve as the Nets' starting center if Claxton is not cleared to play Sunday.

Stuffs stat sheet in loss Claxton registered 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-114 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Claxton produced a strong all-around fantasy performance, matching his season high with three steals while narrowly missing a double-double with 16 points and nine assists, his highest total since Dec. 6 against the Pelicans. The 26-year-old center has scored in double figures in all seven games in February, averaging 14.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.9 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.
