Nicolas Claxton Good To Go For Wednesday
1 month agoBrooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta. This strongly indicates that he will be ready to play in the season opener despite missing the preseason with a hamstring injury. Claxton should be out to prove his worth right away after getting a four-year, $100 million contract from the Nets in the summer. However, considering he's just back from injury, the team could elect to limit Claxton's minutes in the opener. This would put Noah Clowney in a good position to perform, as the Nets lack alternative frontcourt options.
