Returns to action Tuesday Claxton finished Tuesday's 106-96 loss to the Lakers with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes. Impact Claxton came off the bench in his return but played 17 minutes compared to just 11 minutes for Day'Ron Sharpe, who started the game. While Sharpe has been a solid fill-in for Claxton, it makes sense that the team will want to get Claxton back in the opening five sooner rather than later. His playing time is likely to be monitored closely for at least the next week, but even in 22 minutes per night, Claxton has enough upside to be rostered in most 12-team leagues.
