Nic Claxton Out Sunday vs. Cavaliers with Right Thumb Sprain

Nic Claxton (Brooklyn Nets) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right thumb sprain. The injury appeared on Saturday's report and is severe enough to sideline him for the contest. Day'Ron Sharpe is expected to start at center in Claxton's absence. Claxton's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against Miami.
