Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) is questionable to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. He has appeared on the injury report with a right ankle sprain. Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford will be in line for increased workloads if Brooklyn rules Claxton out for the game. The Nets catch Philadelphia at a good time, as the 76ers finish off a back-to-back, and Joel Embiid is unlikely to play after logging a 38-minute shift against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. Both Sharpe and Watford have performed well in limited minutes recently, and a boost in playing time would give them a lift.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Claxton was listed as questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to a right hamstring The severity of the issue is unknown, so Claxton will at least miss one game due to this issue. Noah Clowney figures to take over as the starting center on Tuesday. Clowney finished with five rebounds and zero points in 32 minutes during his last game. He figures to see around the same amount of playing time, but he isn't an ideal streaming option after his dud last time out.
