Resting Saturday vs. Boston Claxton (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Claxton will sit for the first leg of the Nets' back-to-back set Saturday, but he should be available for Sunday's game against the Hawks. Day'Ron Sharpe will likely serve as Brooklyn's starting center against Boston and should see plenty of minutes due to the absences of Claxton, Trendon Watford (hamstring) and Noah Clowney (ankle).

Teases triple-double Thursday Claxton closed Thursday's 121-119 loss to Golden State with eight points (4-7 FG), nine rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes.

Impact The 25-year-old center has never recorded a triple-double in his career, but Claxton came within a bucket and a board of doing just that Thursday while setting a new personal best in assists. He remains a force on the defensive end of the court, recording multiple blocks and steals for the fourth time in his last 10 appearances -- a stretch in which Claxton is averaging 11.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.2 steals while shooting 51.0 percent from the floor.

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.
