Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton took a moment on Friday to reflect back on his first year in the NBA with the regular season on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Claxton hosted a Q&A on the Nets’ Twitter account and fielded numerous questions throughout the session, including his college career at Georgia and his favorite memory from this season.
“The best moment in my rookie career so far would have to be when Caris [LeVert] had 51 at Boston,” Claxton said. “That was a huge performance and we really needed that and he brought us back really single-handedly. That was big and I was excited to be a part of that.”

LeVert scored a career-high 51 points on March 3 to lead the Nets to a nine-point win over the Celtics. The win snapped a four-game losing streak and it helped key the Nets winning four out of their last five games before the season was shut down due to the coronavirus.
Claxton is averaging 4.4 points in 15 games this season with the Nets.
