Nicolas Claxton Sustains An Eye Injury Sunday
2 years agoBrooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton was able to log just 16 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday, exiting the game in the third quarter with a left eye contusion. Before suffering the injury, he was having a nice performance with eight points on perfect 4-for-4 shooting and five rebounds. After the game, Claxton was quoted as saying that he expects to play Tuesday night versus Sacramento, so it looks like this isn't a serious injury and the 23-year-old won't be forced to miss any games. Claxton is enjoying a breakthrough campaign, putting up 11.9 points a night with 9.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks, whilst shooting an amazing 72.4 percent from the field. The Nets don't really have anyone to cover for Claxton, so they will be hoping that he is indeed fine for Tuesday's action and won't go down any time soon.
