Nic Claxton Returns to Starting Lineup for Friday's Game vs. Clippers

Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. He previously operated under a minutes restriction off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Orlando, following a two-game absence due to personal reasons. His return means Day'Ron Sharpe will move back to the second unit. Over his last five starts, Claxton has averaged 13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game.
