Noah Clowney Out Sunday, Back Injury Extends Absence

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (lower back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, extending his absence to five consecutive games. Clowney is dealing with a lower-back injury, and his next potential opportunity to return to the court will be Tuesday, also against the Pistons. In his absence, Danny Wolf has stepped into the starting lineup for the Nets' last two games and is expected to continue doing so while Clowney remains sidelined.
