Nic Claxton Ruled Out Thursday with Right Ankle Sprain

Nic Claxton (ankle) will not play Thursday against the Cavaliers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Claxton had recovered from a hip issue that caused him to miss the final game before the All-Star break, but he rolled his right ankle at practice Wednesday. He will miss at least one contest, with Day'Ron Sharpe and Danny Wolf expected to see increased involvement in his absence.
