Nets' Nic Claxton: Not listed on report for Sunday
Claxton (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Claxton is set to return from a three-game absence after dealing with a right ankle sprain and right hip soreness of late. As a result, Day'Ron Sharpe is likely to retreat to the bench. Through five February appearances, Claxton has averaged 14.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 25.6 minutes per contest.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Not playing Friday
Claxton (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Claxton missed the first leg of the back-to-back set Thursday, and this will be his third consecutive absence. The big man will aim to return against the Hawks on Sunday. With Claxton out, Day'Ron Sharpe should continue to start at center.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Out with ankle issue
Claxton won't play Thursday against the Cavaliers due to a right ankle sprain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Claxton had missed the Nets' final game prior to the All-Star break due to right hip soreness, but after recovering from that injury, he rolled his right ankle at practice Wednesday and will miss another contest. In Claxton's absence, Day'Ron Sharpe will start at center and could be in line for a 30-plus-minute role if he's able to stay out of foul trouble.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Won't suit up Wednesday
Claxton (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Claxton is dealing with right hip soreness and will miss just his third game of the season. The big man will have the All-Star break to recover, as his next opportunity to play will come Feb. 19 against the Cavaliers. With Claxton unavailable, Day'Ron Sharpe will likely get the starting nod, while Danny Wolf could see increased playing time.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Downgraded to doubtful
Claxton (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with Indiana.
Claxton has missed only two games all season but is in severe danger of missing a third, as his updated status indicates he will likely be sidelined against the Pacers. If Claxton officially can't go, Day'Ron Sharpe would be the biggest beneficiary, and Danny Wolf would also likely see some increased run as well.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Questionable for Wednesday
Claxton is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with right hip soreness, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
This is a new injury for Claxton, and the Nets may opt to rest him against the struggling Pacers as a precaution. If he sits, Day'Ron Sharpe would likely get the start at center for Brooklyn.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Season-high 28 points
Claxton provided 28 points (12-15 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 123-115 victory over the Bulls.
Claxton took advantage of the fact that Chicago is without a proven NBA center, scoring a season-high 28 points, while also recording his first double-double in his past 22 appearances. Despite a consistent role, Claxton's overall value has taken a hit of late, thanks largely to his defensive contributions being less than adequate. In fact, he has now failed to record a single block in five straight games. He remains a must-roster player, albeit one with a slightly limited ceiling.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Posts 14 points in loss
Claxton racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-98 loss to Orlando.
Claxton produced another mediocre line Thursday, and he has been averaging less production across every major category since Jan. 1 when compared with his season-long numbers. While he's a versatile contributor, his overall output has dipped in recent weeks, and it's possible the Nets shut him down eventually as they play for lottery odds.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Teases triple-double in loss
Claxton notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.
The 26-year-old center came close to producing his third career triple-double, with the previous two both coming this season. Claxton has delivered solid secondary numbers since returning to the starting lineup Jan. 9, and over the last 12 games, he's averaging 10.0 points, 6.7 boards, 4.2 assists and 1.6 blocks in 28.9 minutes a contest while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Not listed on injury report
Claxton (pinky) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Clippers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Claxton hurt the pinky finger on his right hand during Friday's loss to the Celtics, but he was able to play through it, and it looks like he'll continue to do so Sunday. Claxton is averaging 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 swats per contest this season.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Dealing with finger injury
Claxton sustained a right pinky finger injury during Friday's 130-126 double-overtime loss to the Celtics and is scheduled to have an MRI on Saturday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. He finished with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 39 minutes.
It's unclear when Claxton injured his finger, though he was able to finish Friday's contest. The big man was Brooklyn's third-leading scorer and tied the team-high mark in rebounds. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, and if he's unable to suit up, Day'Ron Sharpe would likely get the starting nod.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Handles big workload Monday
Claxton produced 12 points (6-8 FG), eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Suns.
With Day'Ron Sharpe sitting out with an illness, the Nets leaned heavily on Claxton at center Monday. Claxton continues to provide solid fantasy value in all formats, averaging 10.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 27.7 minutes per contest in nine games this month while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Picks up three blocks in loss
Claxton ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 113-105 loss to the Mavericks.
The 26-year-old center continues to make an impact at the rim. Claxton has recorded multiple blocks in three of four games since rejoining the Nets after dealing with a personal matter in early January, and since the beginning of December, he's averaging 12.6 points, 7.8 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over his last 16 contests.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Starting Friday
Claxton will start against the Clippers on Friday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Claxton operated under a minutes restriction off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Orlando following a two-game absence due to personal reasons, though he'll return to the starting five Friday. As a result, Day'Ron Sharpe will slide back to the second unit. Claxton has averaged 13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game over his last five starts.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Swats two shots off bench
Claxton provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to Orlando.
Claxton's upside is muted in the reserve role, but head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Claxton's minutes restrictions would be lifted his next time out, so we'd expect him to return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. Day'Ron Sharpe finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and five turnovers across 30 minutes in the one-point loss.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Will have minutes restriction
Claxton will have his minutes monitored for Wednesday's game versus the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Head coach Jordi Fernandez said that while he'll be watching Claxton's workload in his return from a two-game absence Wednesday, he doesn't anticipate Claxton having any restrictions for Friday's game against the Clippers. Even with a minutes restriction, Claxton is a must-play option in standard fantasy leagues.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Expected to return to team Monday
Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said he expects Claxton (personal) to return to the team Monday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Claxton has been away from the team for personal reasons and will miss his second straight game Sunday, but it sounds like he'll be available for Wednesday's game versus the Magic. Day'Ron Sharpe should be looking at another start Sunday, and he'll make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues with the increased opportunity.
