Nets' Nic Claxton: Keep or Trade This Summer? Claxton has had an up-and-down season in Brooklyn, which could warrant a trade considering the team's direction.
Returns with efficient 16 points Claxton chipped in 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 121-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact After serving a one-game suspension in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, Claxton scored an efficient 16 points to tie for the team lead in his return. Friday did mark Claxton's first game without a block since the Jan. 22 loss to the Suns, ending a 12-game streak with at least one swat. The 25-year-old big man wrapped up a strong month of February, having averaged 12.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 28.6 minutes while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor over 10 outings.

Suspended for one game Claxton will serve a one-game suspension in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact After picking up his sixth flagrant foul of the season in Monday's loss to Washington, Claxton will need to sit out Wednesday in the aftermath. The star big man should be good to go Friday against Portland. Day'Ron Sharpe is the next man up on the depth chart in the middle for the Nets, although Trendon Watford should also see more playing time in small-ball lineups at center.

Fills stat sheet Thursday Claxton provided eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 110-97 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Claxton finished just two points and one rebound away from recording what would've been a third double-double over his last four appearances. However, the big man still finished with an excellent stat line and recorded at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. Claxton is averaging 12.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.7 blocks per game since the beginning of February.

Records double-double Claxton notched 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 100-96 win over the 76ers.
Impact Claxton was a dominant presence on both ends of the court and recorded a double-double for the second time over his last three appearances. Scoring and rebounding aside, Claxton has been an elite rim-protecting presence in recent games and has notched multiple blocks in six of his last seven contests. Over that seven-game stretch, he's averaging 12.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per contest.

Cleared to play Wednesday Claxton (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Impact Claxton was iffy to suit up Wednesday, but he'll play through an ankle sprain in the Nets' final outing prior to the All-Star break. The 25-year-old's matchup outlook is brightened by the absence of Joel Embiid (knee). Over his last six games, Claxton has averaged 12.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes.

Questionable for Wednesday Claxton is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a right ankle sprain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact This appears to be a new injury for Claxton, and the Nets could exercise caution with this being the last game prior to the All-Star Break. If Claxton is held out Wednesday, guys like Trendon Watford and Jalen Wilson could step into larger roles for the Nets.

Four rejections against Heat Claxton ended with 12 points (6-12 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 102-86 win over Miami.
Impact The double-double was Claxton's 10th of the season, and he recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game for the first time since Jan. 10. The 25-year-old center has rejected at least one shot in seven straight games, a stretch in which Claxton is averaging 11.3 points, 6.4 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor.

Four rejections against Miami Claxton ended with 12 points (6-12 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 102-86 win over Miami.
Impact The double-double was Claxton's 10th of the season. He recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game for the first time since Jan. 10. The 25-year-old center has rejected at least one shot in seven straight games, a stretch in which Claxton is averaging 11.3 points, 6.4 boards, 2.4 blocks, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor.

Blocks six shots in win Claxton posted 12 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, six blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 win over the Hornets.
Impact Claxton recorded a season-high six blocked shots, helping the Nets to a rare victory. It's been a disappointing season for Claxton, averaging just 9.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks. However, with both Noah Clowney (ankle) and Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) now sidelined, he could be forced into more minutes, at least for the short-term.

Pulls down 12 rebounds Claxton had eight points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks.
Impact This was Claxton's 11th game of the campaign with double-digit boards. His production has been pretty sporadic for most of the season, and he's currently on pace to finish outside the top-150 in nine-category formats. If you take free throws out of the equation, however, he's been a ninth-round value.
