Nets' Nic Claxton: Ejected Thursday
Claxton was ejected with 8:46 remaining in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. He'll finish the game with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.
Claxton was tossed from the game for throwing a ball in the stands after he was intentionally fouled on a drive to the basket. Day'Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Plays only 22 minutes
Claxton totaled eight points (4-7 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 130-101 loss to Cleveland.
After scoring in double figures and grabbing at least eight rebounds in three straight games, Claxton has failed to reach either of those plateaus in two consecutive contests. His 22 minutes played tied his fewest since Oct. 25. Since moving into the starting lineup to begin December, Claxton has averaged 12.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.7 minutes across six games, but he's certainly trending in the wrong direction after his latest performances.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Dominates inside in double-double
Claxton finished with 21 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 loss to the Bucks.
Claxton held it down for Brooklyn in the paint Sunday, leading all Nets players in rebounds, steals and blocks while finishing as one of two players with a double-double in a losing effort. Claxton set a new season high in scoring, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time this year. He has now recorded a double-double in four contests.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Efficient night from field in win
Claxton provided 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 victory over Indiana.
It was an efficient night from the floor for Claxton, who matched his season high in scoring that he set back during the Oct. 29 loss to the Nuggets. The 25-year-old big man's role has fluctuated under head coach Jordi Fernandez this season, and he's also dealt with various injuries, but his production is beginning to stabilize a bit in the past few weeks. Over his last six games (four starts), Claxton is averaging 10.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 24.8 minutes per contest while shooting 65.2 percent from the field. While it's also worth noting he knocked down his first three-pointer of the year Wednesday, fantasy managers still shouldn't expect outside scoring to become a habit for Claxton.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Sniffs double-double in loss
Claxton ended Monday's 128-102 loss to Chicago with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.
The Nets looked outmatched on both ends of the court in this matchup, but Claxton was one of the few decent performers for Brooklyn while ending just two boards away from a double-double. Claxton has struggled with injuries of late, which have caused him to miss five of the Nets' last 10 games. He's averaging 7.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game across eight starts.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Questionable to face Orlando
Claxton (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Claxton has missed two games in a row and five of the Nets' last seven contests. The questionable tag suggests a decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Claxton has been in and out of the starting lineup this season due to a minutes restriction, but given all of Brooklyn's injuries, it wouldn't be surprising to see him as part of the first five Friday if he's given the green light.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Deemed questionable for Wednesday
Claxton (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Claxton has been a mainstay on the injury report this season due to a lower back strain and back soreness. The big man has missed four of the Nets' last six outings, and he will likely remain under a minutes restriction if he's able to suit up. If Claxton is sidelined, Ben Simmons and Trendon Watford will likely see an uptick in playing time in an injury-ridden frontcourt

Nets' Nic Claxton: Won't suit up Monday
Claxton (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Golden State, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Claxton was a late addition to the injury report while dealing with lingering lower back soreness. With Ben Simmons (rest), Noah Clowney (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) also sidelined for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Trendon Watford (hamstring) and Cameron Johnson will likely play heavy minutes at center.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Downgraded to doubtful
Claxton is doubtful for Monday's game against the Warriors due to lower back soreness.
Claxton was a very late addition to the injury report and is now expected to sit out the second half of Brooklyn's back-to-back set.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday
Claxton provided four points (2-3 FG), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 win over Sacramento.
Claxton made his first start since Nov. 13, and even though his scoring numbers weren't surprising, he delivered a solid outing due to his contributions in other categories. The Nets need him to be more productive on offense, however, especially since Ben Simmons (rest) has been a non-factor on that end of the court.
