Claxton produced 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and five blocks in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton's team-high 11 rebounds helped him record his 30th double-double of the season during Wednesday's win. He also registered just his third game of 2023-24 with at least five blocks. Claxton's efficiency has decreased slightly from last year, going from shooting 70.5 percent from the field in 2022-23 to 63.2 percent in 2023-24.

Claxton (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton was probable for Wednesday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him cleared to return following a one-game absence. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 9.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. Claxton will reclaim his starting spot from Jalen Wilson against Toronto.

Claxton (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton will miss his first game since Dec. 27 after spraining his left ankle during Saturday's win over Detroit. In the wake of Claxton's absence, Noah Clowney should be the favorite to enter the first unit for his first career start, while Day'Ron Sharpe handles most of the backup work at the five. Claxton's next chance to go will come Wednesday against Toronto.

Claxton is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle sprain, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton finished Saturday's win over Detroit with five points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and three blocks but tweaked his left ankle, though no injury was reported during the contest. Since Sunday's matchup is the second half of a back-to-back set and the Nets have already been eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, it wouldn't be surprising to see them rest most of their regulars versus Sacramento. Cameron Johnson (toe) and Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) have already been ruled out, while Dennis Schroder (Achilles) joins Claxton as questionable.

Claxton totaled 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and four blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton recorded a team-high 13 rebounds during Wednesday's win en route to his 29th double-double of the season. The 24-year-old big man has also been a shot-blocking machine, tallying 11 games with at least four rejections so far in 2023-24.

Claxton recorded 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 122-119 overtime win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton took care of business on the glass while leading all players in Wednesday's contest in rebounds to go along with a game-leading trio of blocks en route to the lone double-double on the night for the Nets. Claxton has hauled in 10 or more boards in two straight games, and Wednesday he posted his fourth double-double over the last 10 contests.

Claxton supplied nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes during Monday's 96-88 win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton didn't have his best scoring performance Monday, but it wasn't due to a lack of efficiency, as he made four of his five attempts from the field. He certainly made his presence felt on the glass, and he ended just one rebound shy from tying his season-high mark in that category. Claxton has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in eight of his 13 appearances this month.

Claxton (illness) finished with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-108 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Claxton shook off an illness and finished just one rebound shy of recording what would've been his seventh double-double of March (11 appearances). The big man has been extremely productive during this stretch, averaging 14.1 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks per game.

EDGE Analysis
