Clowney (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Clowney will not play in Sunday's game while managing a back injury, and his next opportunity to take the court is Tuesday against the Suns. Jalen Wilson, Ziaire Williams and Danny Wolf are all candidates to see increased playing time in Clowney's absence.

Clowney (back) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Clippers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney's back is aching after he logged 43 minutes in Friday's loss to the Celtics, and it looks like he'll be watching Sunday's game from the sidelines. Clowney's absence would open up minutes for guys like Danny Wolf, Ziaire Williams and Jalen Wilson.

Clowney recorded 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 43 minutes during Friday's 130-126 double-overtime loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney's final line reflects a subpar shooting night, but the plays he made down the stretch were very impressionable. In the final minute of overtime he recorded a block at the rim, and sank a three in transition on the ensuing play that gave Brooklyn a lead before Hugo Gonzalez's game-tying shot. That kind of two-way potential is what makes him intriguing. He's upped his averages across the board compared to last season, and will have chances to continue proving himself going forward.

Clowney accumulated 23 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney tallied 23 points, which is the most he has scored in his past 17 games. While it has been a successful season for Clowney, his overall fantasy appeal remains limited to just a couple of categories, those being threes and blocks. Despite what could be considered a breakout of sorts, Clowney has barely been a top-200 player thus far, averaging 13.3 points, 0.8 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game.

Clowney accumulated 17 points (4-17 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

The 17 points tied Tyrese Martin to lead the Nets in scoring on the afternoon. Clowney hasn't scored 20-plus points in over a month, but he's been a steady contributor of late, scoring in double digits in nine of the last 10 games and averaging 13.4 points, 4.1 boards, 2.0 threes, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch.

Clowney accumulated 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

While this wasn't Clowney's best night offensively, he more than made up for it defensively. Michael Porter has been heavily linked to trades elsewhere, and if that happens, Clowney could step into a larger offensive role down the stretch.

Clowney provided 22 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 victory over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney submitted his first 20-point effort since the Dec. 4 loss to the Jazz. It's been a bumpy ride in 2025-26 for the 2023 first-rounder, who's hurting nine-category fantasy rosters significantly with his lack of efficiency. Clowney has averaged 12.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in his last 11 games, but he's shooting only 35.8 percent from the field during this span.

Clowney finished with eight points (2-13 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 119-99 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney continued to struggle from the field, failing to score more than 13 points for the fifth straight game. In six appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks, shooting a woeful 34.4 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the line. While his shooting will almost certainly turn around at some point, his limited overall upside makes him a viable drop candidate in standard formats.

Clowney provided 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney has cooled off recently, but his workloads remain sizable for the Nets. If he can find his rhythm again, he can quickly rebuild some momentum as a fantasy asset. Over his last five games, he's shooting 32.7 percent from the field with averages of 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Clowney registered 19 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during the Nets' 96-81 win over the Raptors on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Clowney was quiet in the first half, but he came alive with 16 second-half points and finished as the Nets' second-leading scorer behind Michael Porter (24 points). Clowney was one of three Nets players to connect on four triples -- the seventh time he's reached that mark this season -- and he was one rebound shy from recording his first double-double of the 2025-26 campaign. Since Dec. 1, Clowney has averaged 16.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.3 blocks over 30.3 minutes per game.
