Nets’ Nic Claxton Faces Sudden Injury Setback: Will He Play Against the Pacers?
So, here we are again—it’s officially tanking season in the NBA, and some teams aren’t even trying to hide it. You’ve got squads like the Sacramento Kings openly playing the long game for top-five draft picks, while the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards shuffle their cards to hang onto protected picks that could slip to the winners. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are in that awkward spot of searching for their next franchise cornerstone, which makes their decision to rest key players like Nic Claxton no shocker. Claxton’s hip soreness might bench him against Indiana, a serious blow since he recently dropped a stunning 28-10 double-double. With the Nets holding the fifth-worst record, the stakes couldn’t be higher—are they playing to win, or playing the draft lottery game? And if Claxton sits, can backups like Day’Ron Sharpe fill those sizable shoes? This tanking drama isn’t just about losing; it’s a high-stakes chess match with fans and front offices watching every move. LEARN MORE.
