Questionable to return Claxton is considered questionable to return to Friday's game against the Jazz due to left hamstring tightness, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
Posts season-high 23 points Claxton notched 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Kings.
Impact Claxton's double-double led the team in Wednesday's loss while James Harden and Kyrie Irving struggled. Claxton filled in admirably for LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle), who will likely remain out for another week. Aldridge's absence should allow Claxton to continue his production run.

Not on injury report Claxton isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Claxton rested during Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, but he'll be back in action Saturday. In his return to the court Tuesday, he logged six points and six rebounds in 17 minutes.

Will rest Wednesday Claxton (rest) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Claxton will rest the second half of a back-to-back after returning to action Tuesday following a seven-game absence due to left hamstring soreness. He played 17 minutes in Tuesday's 106-96 loss to the Lakers, finishing with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT) and six rebounds. Day'Ron Sharpe is expected to operate as the starting center, while LaMarcus Aldridge and James Johnson take on increased roles off the bench.

Returns to action Tuesday Claxton finished Tuesday's 106-96 loss to the Lakers with six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 FT) and six rebounds over 17 minutes.
Impact Claxton came off the bench in his return but played 17 minutes compared to just 11 minutes for Day'Ron Sharpe, who started the game. While Sharpe has been a solid fill-in for Claxton, it makes sense that the team will want to get Claxton back in the opening five sooner rather than later. His playing time is likely to be monitored closely for at least the next week, but even in 22 minutes per night, Claxton has enough upside to be rostered in most 12-team leagues.

Coming off bench in return Claxton (hamstring) will come off the bench in Tuesday's return against the Lakers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Confirmed available Tuesday Claxton (hamstring) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Matt Brooks of Nets Daily reports.
Impact As anticipated, Claxton will make his return to action after missing the last seven games due to soreness in his left hamstring. It's unclear if he'll face any restrictions, but Claxton figures to play a key role right away as the shorthanded Nets try to slow down a Lakers team that will get Anthony Davis (knee) back from an extended injury absence of his own.

Expected to play Tuesday Coach Steve Nash said he expects Claxton (hamstring) will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Lakers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Claxton has missed seven straight games due to discomfort in his left hamstring, but he's expected to be back in the starting lineup Tuesday. Before leaving the Nets' Jan. 10 loss to Portland, he had scored in double figures in seven straight games and recorded two double-doubles during that stretch. He will face a tough test in his potential return, as the Lakers are expecting to get Anthony Davis (knee) back as well.

Questionable for Tuesday Claxton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Chris Milholen of Nets Daily reports.
Impact Claxton continues to deal with discomfort in his left hamstring, which has kept him sidelined since Jan. 10 in Portland. The Nets will once again list him as questionable in hopes that he's able to play, but fantasy managers should wait and see before locking him into any lineups as the Nets begin a three-game Week 15.

Remains out Wednesday Claxton (hamstring) won't play Wednesday against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact This will be Claxton's fifth straight absence, as the center continues to deal with soreness in his left hamstring. With coach Steve Nash stating Monday that Claxton will be available at some point during the team's remaining three games of the road trip, the former Georgia standout has a good chance at returning to the lineup Friday at San Antonio.

Ruled out Monday Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Claxton will miss a fourth straight game due to left hamstring tightness, though head coach Steve Nash said the center is day-to-day and should be available at some point during the Nets' remaining three games of the road trip, per Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com. The Nets will also be without Kevin Durant (knee), James Johnson (illness) and Paul Millsap (personal) in their frontcourt, but LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) will be ready to return from a five-game absence. With that said, Aldridge, Day'Ron Sharpe and Blake Griffin will likely cover most of the minutes at center Monday.

Deemed questionable for Monday The Nets list Claxton (hamstring) as questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brooklyn has already ruled out three other frontcourt players in Kevin Durant (knee), James Johnson (illness) and Paul Millsap (personal), but Claxton's availability heading into the Nets' four-game week is more up in the air. Meanwhile, LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) has been bumped up to probable following a five-game absence, so he, Day'Ron Sharpe and Blake Griffin would likely cover most of the minutes at center if Claxton is forced to miss a fourth straight game.
