Following the NBA All-Star break, Nic Claxton was among the players the Brooklyn Nets assigned to their G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. He played in three games for Long Island, but will not be with the team on Friday.
Prior to their game against the Atlanta Hawks, Brooklyn announced Claxton had been recalled.
The Nets rookie led Long Island in scoring in two of the three games he played in throughout his recent stretch in the G League. He finished in double figures each game, averaging 16.7 points per game. Claxton’s highest total (21 points) came against the Lakeland Magic, the Orlando Magic’s G League affiliate. The forward also grabbed 12 rebounds against Lakeland.
Claxton could still rejoin Long Island for their next game, should he not play much on Friday or against the Miami Heat on Saturday. Long Island is off until Sunday, when the Nets play host to Raptors 905, the Toronto Raptors’ G League affiliate.
