Nicolas Claxton Active, Cam Thomas Still Out Tuesday
6 months agoBrooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) is available for Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game versus the Toronto Raptors, while guard Cam Thomas (ankle) remains out for the contest. Claxton saw an eight-game absence due to a left ankle sprain between Oct. 27 and Nov. 10, so the Nets opted for the cautious route in keeping him out on the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday vs. the Chicago Bulls. The 24-year-old rim protector is proving in 2023-24 that his 2022-23 breakout was no fluke, totaling 12.3 points, 8.3 boards, and 2.7 rejections during 26.6 minutes per game thus far. Day'Ron Sharpe is in line to lose minutes off head coach Jacque Vaughn's bench on Tuesday. Thomas remains on the mend with a right ankle sprain that he suffered on Nov. 8, with his next to chance to return coming on Thursday vs. the Charlotte Hornets. Spencer Dinwiddie, and especially Lonnie Walker IV, should continue to benefit in fantasy in a very banged-up Brooklyn backcourt.
