Left shoulder operated (repair of the labrum via arthroscopy), Nicolas Claxton (21, 2.11m) will miss the remainder of the 2019-20 season, which resumes in late July. It is, however, expected for the training camp for the 2020-21 season.
31st pick of the 2019 draft (Georgia), Claxton played 15 games for 4.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assist in 12.5 minutes on average this season for the Nets. So he joined Kevin Durant (Achilles tendon) and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) in the infirmary. Brooklyn will have 14 players available in its roster for the resumption of competition, 2 of which are in two-way contracts.
On January 20, Claxton stood out with his 15 points at 6/8 (1/2 at 3-point), 4 offensive rebounds and 2 assists in 17 minutes of play against the 76ers (6-point loss).
