Claxton intends to sign a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Nets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Less than 24 hours after dealing Mikal Bridges to the Knicks, Brooklyn is on the verge of locking up Claxton for four seasons. The 24-year-old started in each of his 147 appearances over the last two seasons, averaging 11.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 blocks per game in 2024. Claxton's name had been rumored in trade talks this offseason with the Nets slated for a rebuild, but for now, he's one of the franchise's cornerstones.

Claxton produced 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and five blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 win over Toronto. Claxton's team-high 11 rebounds helped him record his 30th double-double of the season during Wednesday's win. He also registered just his third game of 2023-24 with at least five blocks. Claxton's efficiency has decreased slightly from last year, going from shooting 70.5 percent from the field in 2022-23 to 63.2 percent in 2023-24.

Claxton (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Claxton was probable for Wednesday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him cleared to return following a one-game absence. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 9.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. Claxton will reclaim his starting spot from Jalen Wilson against Toronto.

Claxton (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Claxton was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Kings, marking his first absence since Dec. 27, but will return to action Wednesday. Over his last eight appearances, Claxton has averaged 9.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 31.6 minutes per game.

Claxton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Claxton finished Saturday's win over Detroit with five points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks but tweaked his left ankle, though no injury was reported during the contest. Since Sunday's matchup is the second half of a back-to-back set and the Nets have already been eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, it wouldn't be surprising to see them rest most of their regulars versus Sacramento. Cameron Johnson (toe) and Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) have already been ruled out, while Dennis Schroder (Achilles) joins Claxton as questionable.
