Nic Claxton News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets | FOX Sports

Posts double-double Claxton logged 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 101-84 win over the Magic.

Impact Claxton was efficient from the field and active on the glass, recording his seventh double-double across 19 games since the beginning of March. The Nets already locked up the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference and are set to face the 76ers, so it wouldn't be surprising if Claxton receives ahead of a Sunday regular-season finale where the team has nothing to play for. He's averaging 12.9 points and 10.0 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

Muted production continues Claxton ended with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 142-118 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Since returning from a hamstring injury to a team without Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Claxton has averaged just 7.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals. While his defensive production remains impressive, his recent performances are a far cry from the 17.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 2.4 assists he averaged from Jan. 15 through Feb. 7. Without the increased defensive attention placed on Irving and Durant, Claxton's life has become much more difficult.
