Not listed on injury report Claxton (pinky) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Clippers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Claxton hurt the pinky finger on his right hand during Friday's loss to the Celtics, but he was able to play through it, and it looks like he'll continue to do so Sunday. Claxton is averaging 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 swats per contest this season.

Dealing with finger injury Claxton sustained a right pinky finger injury during Friday's 130-126 double-overtime loss to the Celtics and is scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.c...

Impact It's unclear when Claxton injured his finger, though he was able to finish Friday's contest. The big man was Brooklyn's third-leading scorer and tied the team-high mark in rebounds. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, and if he's unable to suit up, Day'Ron Sharpe would likely get the starting nod.

Picks up three blocks in loss Claxton ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 113-105 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact The 26-year-old center continues to make an impact at the rim. Claxton has recorded multiple blocks in three of four games since rejoining the Nets after dealing with a personal matter in early January, and since the beginning of December he's averaging 12.6 points, 7.8 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0,8 steals over his last 16 contests.

Starting Friday Claxton will start against the Clippers on Friday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Claxton operated under a minutes restriction off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Orlando following a two-game absence due to personal reasons, though he'll return to the starting five Friday. As a result, Day'Ron Sharpe will slide back to the second unit. Claxton has averaged 13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game over his last five starts.

Claxton swats two shots off bench Claxton provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to Orlando.

Impact Claxton's upside is muted in the reserve role, but head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Claxton's minutes restrictions would be lifted his next time out, so we'd expect him to return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. Day'Ron Sharpe finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and five turnovers across 30 minutes in the one-point loss.

Coming off bench Wednesday Claxton is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Magic on Wednesday.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Will have minutes restrictions Weds Claxton will have his minutes monitored for Wednesday's game versus the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Head coach Jordi Fernandez said that while he'll be watching Claxton's workload in his return from a two-game absence Wednesday, he doesn't anticipate Claxton having any restrictions for Friday's game against the Clippers. Even with some minutes restrictions, Claxton is a must-play option in standard fantasy leagues.

Expected to return to team Monday Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said he expects Claxton (personal) to return to the team Monday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Claxton has been away from the team for personal reasons and will miss his second straight game Sunday, but it sounds like he'll be available for Wednesday's game versus the Magic. Day'Ron Sharpe should be looking at another start Sunday, and he'll make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues with the increased opportunity.

Out again Sunday Claxton (personal) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.
