Claxton isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Bulls, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. While Claxton is available for Friday's contest, Ben Simmons will draw another start at center. The Nets are playing it cautiously with Claxton's hamstring injury, but he should return to the starting five soon.

Claxton (hamstring) is available for Friday's game versus the Bulls, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Claxton will return to action Friday after sitting out the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back. While the 25-year-old big man is expected to re-enter the starting lineup soon, it is unclear if that will come against Chicago.

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Claxton will sit out Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to hamstring injury management, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Claxton will miss the second leg of the Nets' back-to-back set after he recorded 16 points (8-9 FG), 12 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 26 minutes in Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets before fouling out with 22 seconds left in overtime. The 25-year-old center has come off the bench in each of the Nets' first four games of the season, but his minutes have increased in every contest, and he should soon move back into the starting lineup once the hamstring injury is further in the rear-view mirror.

Claxton supplied 10 points (5-6 FG), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-102 win over the Bucks. Head coach Jordi Fernandez told reporters before Sunday's game that Claxton would see more playing time than he did over the first two games of the regular season. Claxton's 22 minutes were only two more than he logged during Friday's game against the Magic, but the 25-year-old center was productive during his on-court time and he registered his first double-double of the season. Claxton should serve as the Nets' first big man off the bench while Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is sidelined.

Claxton (hamstring) will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Bucks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Claxton will come off the bench for a third straight game, but coach Jordi Fernandez said the big man would see more minutes than he has in the last two games. Claxton has played 15 and 20 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him closer to 25 against Milwaukee even though he's not in the starting lineup. Brooklyn will start Ben Simmons, Dennis Schroder, Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith for a third straight game.
