Noah Clowney News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Suiting up Sunday Clowney (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Clowney is cleared to suit up for the first time since Nov. 24. He'll likely face some restrictions, but with Cam Thomas (hamstring) Jaylen Martin (knee), Ziaire Williams (knee) and Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) still out, there should be a clear path to playing time for Clowney on Sunday.

Back at practice Clowney (ankle) has been cleared to practice, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Clowney was shut down for two weeks after being diagnosed with a left ankle sprain Nov. 27, but he's progressing well in his rehab and has been given the green light to practice. However, the team neglected to reveal what types of activity he's been cleared to take part in, so his timetable for a return remains a bit unclear at this juncture.

Re-evaluated in two weeks Brooklyn announced Wednesday that Clowney has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain and that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Impact The Nets have been battered by injuries and are going to hurting for depth across all five positions. Fortunately for Brooklyn, Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is expected back in about a week. In the meantime, Trendon Watford and Jalen Wilson could step into increased roles.

Ruled out for Wednesday Clowney (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Clowney sustained the left ankle sprain during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Kings. The big man also missed the second leg of the back-to-back set during Monday's win over the Warriors. The 20-year-old underwent an MRI and the results have yet to come in, though if he misses additional time Trendon Watford will likely see an uptick in minutes off the bench. Clowney's next chance to feature will come Friday versus the Magic.

Gets MRI on ankle Clowney got an MRI on his ankle Monday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Clowney injured his left ankle in the fourth quarter of the Nets' 108-103 win over the Kings. The results of the MRI have not come in, but it will provide clarity on the severity of Clowney's ankle injury. If Clowney were to be sidelined for multiple games, Trendon Watford (hamstring), Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams would all be candidates to see increased playing time.

Out Monday Clowney (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Clowney suffered a left ankle injury during the fourth quarter Sunday's game against the Kings, so it's not surprising to see him sidelined for the second half of Brooklyn's back-to-back set. With Ben Simmons (back/rest) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) also sidelined, Trendon Watford (hamstring), Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams are candidates for increased roles.

Suffers ankle injury Clowney suffered an apparent left ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Kings, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Clowney was unable to return to the contest after he appeared to roll his ankle during the fourth quarter before being assisted to the locker room. Prior to his injury, he racked up 18 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one steal and a block in 21 minutes of play. His five three-pointers made tied a career high. Considering the nature of the injury, his status for Monday against the Warriors is questionable at best.

Adds 15 off bench Clowney finished with 15 points (5-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Monday's 107-105 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Clowney's scoring production in Monday's win was certainly a surprise, considering he's put up 18 total points over his last four matchups combined. He did all of his damage from beyond the arc, an area he'd struggled in entering the night. Clowney is now 12-for-26 from downtown over nine games this season.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Friday Clowney (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Clowney was deemed questionable with a non-COVID illness, but the big man will add depth in the frontcourt in this matchup against the reigning champions. Clowney is averaging 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds across 16.1 minutes per game in seven appearances (one start) this season.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Officially deemed questionable Clowney (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Celtics, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact While Clowney could miss Friday's game due to an illness, he had missed Brooklyn's previous contest with a hip injury. If Clowney is ruled out against Boston, Nic Claxton, Ben Simmons and Dorian Finney-Smith will likely soak up most of the team's minutes in the frontcourt.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Clowney (hip) didn't participate in Thursday's practice due to an illness and his status for Friday's game versus Boston is uncertain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Clowney missed Brooklyn's previous contest due to a hip injury, but it is unclear if that ailment is still bothering him. Regardless, the Nets should release an official injury report clarifying Clowney's status against the Celtics sometime Thursday.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Clowney (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact With Ben Simmons (rest) and Clowney unavailable, the Nets will be shorthanded in the frontcourt, as Nic Claxton also remains on a minutes limit during the second half of a back-to-back set. Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams are candidates for increased roles versus Memphis.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Clowney is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to right hip soreness.

Impact This is a new issue for Clowney, and the Nets could err on the side of caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. In seven regular-season appearances, Clowney has averaged 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.1 minutes.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Swats two shots in win Clowney recorded seven points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 15 minutes during Friday's 120-112 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Clowney has operated as one of Brooklyn's primary bench options in the frontcourt this season. However, with Ben Simmons expected to sit out the first leg of the team's back-to-back Sunday, Clowney could receive increased playing time.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Slides to bench Wednesday Clowney will come off the bench Wednesday versus Memphis while Ben Simmons enters the starting lineup, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Clowney has averaged 17.0 minutes across four appearances this season, and entering the starting lineup Tuesday versus Denver did not yield a bump beyond that average. That being said, the second-year Alabama product will look to capitalize on Nic Claxton's (hamstring) vacated role Wednesday.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Tuesday Clowney will enter the starting five in Tuesday's matchup versus the Nuggets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact With Tuesday being the first game of a back-to-back set, Ben Simmons (back) will rest, and Clowney will join the starters for the first time this season. The 20-year-old has averaged 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks across 17.3 minutes per game in three regular-season outings thus far.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Team option picked up The Nets picked up their 2025-2026 team option for Clowney on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact This transaction was merely a formality for the Nets. Clowney has a bright future with the franchise and is averaging 9.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 17.3 minutes through the first three games of the campaign.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Subdued performance in loss Clowney racked up seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Clowney logged 15 minutes off the bench, less than what managers would have been hoping for. After some early preseason hype, Clowney's assumed role regressed, seeing him fall in drafts, to the point where he was not a must-draft player. Although his per-minute production was more than adequate, it appears as though the playing time is going to come up short. He makes for a nice stash should your league settings be suitable. If and when the Nets fall out of playoff contention, Clowney could certainly step into a larger role.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Friday Clowney is not in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The Nets will start Ben Simmons at center, meaning Clowney will head back to the bench. Given that Nic Claxton (hamstring) is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Hawks next Wednesday, there's a strong chance Clowney will open the season as a backup alternative in the frontcourt, a role that would limit his fantasy upside considerably.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing start Wednesday Clowney will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason contest against Philadelphia, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Clowney starts in place of Ben Simmons (rest). Clowney continuing to get reps as Brooklyn's hybrid power forward and center is enabled by Nic Claxton's (hamstring) absence as well.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 11 points off bench Clowney finished with 11 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes in Monday's 131-92 preseason win over the Wizards.

Impact Clowney is fighting for minutes in the frontcourt ahead of the regular-season opener against the Hawks on Oct. 23, and the big man has been delivering solid performances in the preseason. Clowney has a clear path at logging backup minutes behind Nic Claxton once the regular season begins, as both Trendon Watford and Day'Ron Sharpe, Clowney's most significant threats to earn playing time, are dealing with hamstring injuries and might not be available for the regular-season opener.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play center minutes With Trendon Watford and Day'Ron Sharpe both sidelined by hamstring injuries, Clowney is expected to play backup minutes at center behind Nic Claxton (hamstring), Erik Slater of Cl...

Impact Claxton's hamstring injury is reportedly less severe than Watford's and Sharpe's, but either way, Clowney has a clear path to consistent minutes to begin his second season in the NBA. As a rookie, Clowney made only 23 appearances, including four starts to end the regular season. Over the final six games of last season, Clowney averaged 13.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 30.7 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Clowney believes Nets' youth can be a positive "I think we're young, we can grow together and we can build something," he said during the Nets' summer camp Wednesday.
