Nicolas Claxton Faces Extended Absence
1 year agoBrooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) will miss a sixth consecutive game Monday versus Milwaukee, and he could be out for a while. He revealed at the weekend that he's dealing with a high ankle sprain, and Nets beat writer Nick Slater has reported that this could potentially lead to a 6-8-week absence for the big man. It looks like we're about to see a lot more of Ben Simmons playing small-ball center in Brooklyn, with Day'Ron Sharpe getting a few more extra minutes off the bench.
